Matt Canavan, the leader of the Nationals party in Australia, has stirred controversy by praising podcaster Sam Bamford, who advocates for the mass deportation of migrants based on race. Bamford, a former Australian Army veteran, made headlines after hosting Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price on his podcast, where he expressed the view that Australia is being overrun by migrants from various ethnic backgrounds. Price seemed to agree with some of Bamford's statements but later distanced herself from his more extreme views, stating she did not intend to endorse everything he said.

Canavan defended Bamford, labeling him a 'good Australian' and encouraging open dialogue about immigration issues. He challenged the Labor Party to engage with Bamford on his podcast to discuss differing perspectives. The term 'remigration,' which Bamford supports, is associated with far-right ideologies that fear the displacement of white majorities by ethnic minorities due to immigration. This concept has gained popularity in anti-migrant rhetoric globally. The political fallout from this incident has raised questions about the appropriateness of Price's participation in such discussions, with calls from within her party for accountability regarding her views on immigration.
