“He is interested in this country,” Albanese said.

“He knows that we are a warm and generous people, and he wanted to inform himself about what this debate was about by engaging directly with the Minister for Indigenous Affairs and myself as the Prime Minister.”

The presser was objectively bizarre. Per SBS, O’Neal only made a brief appearance at the start and didn’t take any questions from reporters. He did, however, greet Burney by pressing her hand against his forehead, which was intriguing to say the least. Did he try to kiss her hand and misjudge the aim horrendously, or was this a deliberate move? I simply must know.

O’Neal then said a few words for the cameras before yeeting.

“I’m here in your country, whatever you need from me, just let me know,” he said.

“We all know Shaq loves Australia.”

It’s giving DJ Khaled repeating his own name in his songs. It also seems that O’Neal has moved on extremely quickly since the presser. He hasn’t posted any updates about the meeting — or the Indigenous Voice to Parliament — on his social media channels, instead choosing to share a video of him getting hit by Hasbulla on a boat on Saturday.

And on Sunday, O’Neal also announced that he’s doing an NFT giveaway on Twitter. It’s nice knowing where his priorities lie.
