Australia enlists NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O'Neal will help Australia's new government implement reforms for an Indigenous voice to parliament, Qazet.az reports according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, standing alongside NBA Hall of famer.

Albanese’s centre-left Labor Party government is seeking a referendum, needed to change the constitution, on recognising Indigenous people in the constitution and mandating consultation with them on decisions that affect their lives.

Details on the so-called Indigenous voice to parliament will follow the national referendum on the question, which the government wants to hold in the parliament’s current term.

"I'm here in your country, whatever you need from me you just let me know," O'Neal told Albanese during a news conference in Sydney, before leaving without taking questions.
