Shaq to lend Albanese a hand on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament | Anthony Galloway
Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal has lent his support to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament after meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and gatecrashing his press conference.
“Congratulations to you guys and I want you to know that Shaq loves Australia,” the former NBA star said. O’Neal asked to meet Albanese, and following their meeting has agreed to make a series of videos in support of enshrining an Indigenous Voice to parliament in the constitution. While conceding O’Neal wouldn’t be across Australia’s constitution, Albanese pointed out that the 216-centimetre celebrity does extensive work in the United States promoting social justice and lifting people up who are marginalised.“What he does know and what the world knows is about the gap that is there between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in life expectancy, in health outcomes, in education, in housing, in infant mortality. The world knows about these issues.
