Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been criticised by Indigenous members of the centre-right Coalition and left-wing Greens for involving NBA star Shaquille O'Neal in the government’s efforts to implement the “Indigenous Voice” to Parliament.
Jacinda Nampijinpa Price, conservative-leaning Country Liberal Party senator, and Lidia Thorpe, the Greens spokesperson for First Nations, delivered a strong rebuke of Albanese’s actions.
