In a moment that has electrified Australia’s culture war, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has thrown her full weight behind Sall Grover, the embattled founder of Giggle for Girls, following Grover’s headline-grabbing speech at CPAC Australia 2025.

The image is striking: a fierce Indigenous senator standing in Parliament, proudly holding a traditional Warlpiri ceremonial stick passed down from her grandmother, declaring her unwavering support for a woman who has become one of the most controversial figures in the country’s gender debate.

“I caught up with my good mate Sall Grover in Parliament as she continues her brave fight to defend women-only spaces and restore common sense in Australian law,” Senator Price wrote in a powerful Facebook post that quickly went viral.

Price’s message was clear and uncompromising. “No woman should be dragged through the courts for standing up for the rights, safety and dignity of women and girls,” she declared. “Australians deserve laws that provide clarity and protect women’s spaces, sport and protections based on biological sex.”

The Warlpiri-Celtic senator then raised her Karlangu — a sacred ceremonial stick belonging to women — and made a promise that has resonated deeply with many Australians: “I’m holding my Karlangu passed onto me by my grandmother… I will defend her with my big stick every day of the week!”

“Keep going Sall, we are with you!” she concluded.

This public display of solidarity comes at a critical time for Sall Grover. The CEO of Giggle for Girls has been locked in a high-profile legal battle after excluding a transgender woman, Roxanne Tickle, from her female-only social networking app. The case has become a flashpoint in Australia’s ongoing debate over sex, gender, and women’s rights.

At CPAC Australia 2025 in Brisbane, Grover delivered a passionate and emotional speech that drew standing ovations. She spoke about the importance of protecting single-sex spaces, the erosion of women’s rights, and her personal journey fighting what she describes as an ideological capture of Australian law.

Senator Price, a prominent conservative voice and champion of women’s rights and Indigenous issues, has now positioned herself as one of Grover’s strongest political allies. Their friendship appears to be built on shared values — particularly the belief that biological sex is real and that women deserve protected spaces.

Price’s gesture with the Karlangu was deeply symbolic. In Warlpiri culture, the Karlangu represents feminine strength, law, and cultural authority. By invoking this powerful symbol, Price connected Grover’s legal fight to ancient Indigenous traditions of protecting women’s spaces and knowledge.

The senator’s post has sparked intense reactions across the political spectrum. Supporters have praised her for showing courage and cultural pride, while critics have accused her of inflaming division. Yet Price remains undeterred.

Her words carry extra weight coming from a woman who has consistently spoken out against what she sees as the erosion of women’s hard-won rights in the name of gender ideology. As one of the most visible Indigenous politicians in Australia, her endorsement sends a strong message that the fight for sex-based rights crosses cultural and political lines.

The relationship between Price and Grover appears to have strengthened through shared battles. Both women have faced significant backlash for their public stances — Grover in the courts and Price in the often hostile environment of federal politics.

As Australia grapples with complex questions around gender, identity, and fairness, the alliance between these two women represents something larger: a growing pushback from women across different backgrounds who believe biology still matters in law and policy.

Senator Price’s message is more than just support for one woman. It is a broader call to defend the very concept of women’s rights in the 21st century.

Will this powerful display of solidarity change the national conversation?

Only time will tell — but one thing is certain: with voices like Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Sall Grover refusing to back down, the debate over women’s spaces is far from over.
