‘Whatever you need from me you just let me know,’ said O'Neal. Anthony Albanese said O’Neal had contacted the prime minister’s office while on a speaking tour in the country to lend his support to the campaign, praising his leadership skills and ability to mobilise people: ‘Shaq has that record, particularly when it comes to bringing people together of different backgrounds, which is consistent with our approach.’
Linda Burney, minister of indigenous affairs, added: ‘I am really pleased and very proud that Shaq has sought a request through the prime minister to specifically talk about the plans that we have in relation to a referendum’.

I don't see Australia letting the Indigenous people make any progress or being treated with respect they will continue to be forgotten and an after thought.
