FED:Liberal senator faces backlash over migrant discussion

A Liberal frontbencher has distanced herself from a podcaster who said Australia should stop "hundreds of thousands" of migrants coming from India, China, Africa and the Middle East.

But Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's appearance on the 2 Worlds Collide podcast has angered some community groups and prompted calls for her resignation.

In the episode, military veteran and podcast host Sam Bamford said he felt the government was ignoring that "Australia is for Australians".

"We can't keep flooding us with hundreds of thousands of Indians, Chinese, Africans, Middle Easterns and Gazans," Bamford said.

A video of the podcast, posted to YouTube, shows Senator Nampijinpa Price nodding and making affirmative noises.

Mr Bamford then said he had outlined a lot of information, before asking the senator for her thoughts.
