Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has written a book outlining her life story which is one of resilience, hardship, and triumph.

She has overcame violence, tragedy and disadvantage to become one of Australia’s most influential political voices.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I learned quickly that I'm never going to please everybody."

"I will upset people."

"But ultimately, my goal is to be a voice for the voiceless and look at trying to save lives and if that meant being a target, then that's what I guess I had to be in order to do that," Jacinta Price said.
