Parramatta City Council, one of Sydney’s largest councils, has supported a motion to express support for the local Indian migrant community in response to Senator Jacinta Price’s comments on immigration.

Labor Councillor Michael Ng originally put forward the motion as a matter of emergency not long after Senator Price made the contentious comments accusing the Labor Party of importing voters through migration.
