Liberal senator Jacinta Price has stirred the pot once again by doubling down on her controversial remarks about Indian migrants. In a recent statement, she claimed that Scott Morrison, the former Prime Minister and self-proclaimed 'spice wizard from the Shire', cooks a better curry than any Indian migrant could.

Price's comments come in the wake of criticism she received for stating that 'large numbers' of Indian migrants are Labor voters. Despite calls from her party and constituents to apologize, Price seems to have chosen further alienation over reconciliation, opting for a strategy that could be described as 'flavorful but risky'.

During an appearance on Sky News, Price praised Morrison's culinary skills, saying, "Of all the times I’ve eaten butter chicken in my life, without a doubt the best ones came from the kitchen of that spice wizard from the Shire, Scott Morrison." She didn't stop there, controversially suggesting that Morrison even did more for world peace than Gandhi, quipping that Gandhi probably never thought to boast about not shooting women, a reference to Morrison's political legacy.
