ANALYSIS: Shaq loves Indigenous Voice plan, but will it score political points?
Now instead of a plain-speaking government advert that has all the cut-through of a blunt butter knife, the government has served up a clickable, shareable, potentially viral masterpiece to reach Australians who are disengaged with the debate."I'm here in your country, whatever you need from me, just let me know," O'Neal said.
"Thought a Black man coming to our Country would be more respectful to First Nations people than interfering in what is a controversial topic, dividing our people," she wrote. How they land will be a big indicator of whether this is a piece of marketing genius or another example of Australia's infatuation with America, seeking endorsement from Uncle Sam rather than confidently backing our own ideas.Taking the temperature of the Indigenous community after the stunt, it's hard to see whether it is being chalked up as a win.
