Shaq Dunks the Voice by Dr. Binoy Kampmark
August 27, Sydney.The scale was jaw dropping and amusing. There he was, the still fresh Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, rendered pygmy-like by the enormity of one Shaquille O’Neal, popularly knownas Shaq. No degree of expert photography at this press conference could conceal the disparity in size between the two.
Albanese has made it his crowning ambition to campaign for the Voice. By that, he means to put to Australian voters a question on constitutionally recognising Australia’s First Nations peoples (admirable and irrefutable) and enshrining a vague, as yet undetermined political forum that will represent them (problematic).
