Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has announced her candidacy for deputy leader of the Liberal Party.

Ms Price made the announcement on Sunday as she officially endorsed Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor for party leader.

‘As I’ve said with respect to my decision to change party rooms, these are not matters which I take lightly, and this decision today brings with it a great deal of responsibility which I fully accept,’ she said. 

‘There is no question that returning to our roots as a party is critical right now.

‘If we want to inspire and empower Australians across our country, we must return to these roots – these basic values – that define who we are as a party.’
