Even if you're naive enough to believe he approached Albo instead of the other way around, the majority of Aussies are never going react well to someone from another country trying to influence our politics especially.

I’m a bit surprised you haven’t been posting on here earlier indo , defending your second favourite PM , anyway believe what ya like ……… Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney told the news conference that O’Neal had requested to be involved and described the mission for change as “a noble task”.
Albanese said O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion, had a track record in the United States of working for social justice and “uplifting people who are marginalized.” https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMidWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnJldXRl...

Ever heard of Rupert Murdoch, US citizen, owns 70% of our print media? Tries every day to influence our politics and does.
How about giving us your thoughts on Morrison in light of the secret ministries and undermining our Constitution revelations, how does that 'golden era' stack up now Indo?
listened to insiders, apparently the shaq approached them - good
and he's not even getting payed - better
but even they couldn't resist commenting on how shallow and out of place his little 'impromtu' (but contrived) walk out appeared...
and that he appears in gambling ads etc...
their justification was he appeals to a certain non abc watching, non politically engaged audience...
fair enough
and, maybe...
looked cheap, out of place, and gratuitous to me

Crickets, but Jacinta Price fawning over the Murdochs at the IPA, American media moguls “giving her a ( well scripted ) voice”. Top dogs!
Scomo's [L] Jobs Jobs Jobs...just round one!
Albo claimed Scomo delayed calling election to rig up yet more Jobs.
"Surely there are no [L] left to appoint to these boards?"
[L] saw the writing on the wall & Scomo strategically seeded Oz boards..
Albo is pretty much paralyzed each'n'every move he makes...ruled & reviewed by [L] Boards.
These Boards need only feed press releases of Albo's failings...& get paid by Taxpayers.
Nov 2021 > April 2022 Scomo stacked 30 former ministers / Donors to tax funded appointments.

Lidia Thorpe on Shaquille O’Neil -
“He’s putting his nose into business that has nothing to do with him. He does not understand what is going on in this country, and he should not be commenting,” the Victorian senator said.
“I mean, he’s here for a speaking tour, good on him. But he’s also here for Pointsbet, which is about gambling, which is about destroying families.
“We have bigger issues in this country that we’d like Shaq to understand and know about, rather than think a conversation with the Labor Party is going to put him in good stead to win fans or win votes.
“It’s an insult. It’s actually an insult.”
Well said.
Albo should be embarrassed.
I wonder how the majority of indigenous Australians feel about shaq coming in to bat for a yes vote ?

Ive moved on and so has 90% of Australia, only people that havent is airbus Albo and the 10% of die hard Labor voters and pf course media.
But the rest of Australia is more concerned about the now and the future especially cost of living and inflation and promises Albo made at the election like reduction in energy bills.
I like how you speak for “ 90% of australia “yesterday it was the “ majority of Aussies “ where do you get this information ? Or do you just make statements and believe them to be true because you made them ?
Info’s approach to a decade of incompetence, deception and corruption
You have to make generally observations some how, these days the best way to do this is to see what everyday people are saying under mainstream news articles or social media, im not talking about what the fringes are saying like Sky or the Guardian or even the ABC we always know what people commenting in these places will say, im talking news outlets where its just everyday people who are not overly political where there is a fairly balanced mix of moderate Labor & LNP voters or true swing voters
A year ago the majority of comments under any Scomo or Government related article from these mainstream news outlets tended to be mostly negative comments about Scomo or the Government.
However now even these Scomo related articles are very heavily dominated by comments criticising Albo and the current government, which really makes complete sense, because most normal people are interested in current governments and what they are going to do for us and are concerned about the here and now, its only the fringes that are the type's that are concerned with X PM's and seeking some kind of revenge.
Scott Morrison will be making headlines for the next year or two , that’s my prediction/opinion . I think Albo and Labor are doing a reasonable job in their first 100 days but the oil/gas exploration is very very disappointing and needs some explanation about why they are allowing this to happen. They also need to rethink their 3rd stage tax concessions as this money can fund areas like health and education that need bigger funding. Albo’s explanation at the NPC to why they were going ahead with it didn’t come across as a good reason . He also needs to do something about the gas problem. They certainly have a big mess to try and clean up for the incompetence of the last decade and they haven’t fixed up everything in 100 days . See where we are in 1000 days .

Reckon Indo could be on IPA or LNP payroll.... Only real explanation for his views that are expressed here. One eyed supporter and uses the same language when discussing the same topics of the LNP talking points of the day.
Airbus Albo. Pfft.

Hopefully Morrison and a few of his colleagues are in jail by then.... ICAC I reckon will show there have been laws broken. Let's wait and see....
Serious question indo , now that Scumo has been exposed , do you still wish he had won the election ?
1000 days from now, fuck thats a scary thought.
My predictions are:
- Interest rates will be much higher.
- Housing wont be any more affordable to buy or rent but a lot of people will be in negative equity.
- Energy prices wont be cheaper and much more likely to be higher and more unreliable than now.
- Unemployment rates will have gone up from current record lows (thanks to previous government)
- Inflation might still be a problem or general affordability of goods and services.
-If we have another thing like Covid the way Labor tackle's it will see much more government control over your life.
The real question is will we have another true recession like in the early 90s by then???
Either way life wont be any better than what its been for the last 20-30 years.
In regard to your last question as I've said many times my heart wanted LNP to win the last election, my head said long term it would be better not too, it was always a win win.
BTW. In regard to gas and oil thing, i actually see that as a tick, it actually showed that despite what they say , that end of the day they aren't going to be totally irresponsible and ignore reality.
I stand corrected
Info with his head in the sand wanting more Scomo reamings
I stand corrected

So basically indo your fine with everything Scumo did as PM but glad Labor are now in power because things are going to get worse but not from anything the LNP did in the last decade . Copy that

and now...
'...the worlds turned on its head since those tax cuts..'
'...we should react accordingly...'
'...huge deficit...'
'...people like me dont need these tax cuts...'
'...we are sending the wrong message with these tax cuts...'
all from a liberal mp no less!
if albo don't grow a pair of (labor style) balls soon... he's toast
even with dutto
and seriously, is the whole political apparatus incapable of thinking more than 12 months in advance?
all the talk around the jobs and skills summit - from both sides - is permanent migration!
geez, with the current trajectory... do you really think 200k plus permanent migrants a year are going to look like a good decision in 3 or 4 years time?
*yawn*

Just wait and see what happens with stage 3 tax cuts. Politically if he was to out right cancel them now he would be jumped on by the LNP, MSM and the idiots on Sky as a liar, breaking promises, cannot be trusted etc. This would continue until the next election and take over news cycle. They are not due until 2024, so maybe smarter politically to let it stew a bit until more and more people on all sides of politics come out such as Broadbent from the LNP saying they are a stupid idea etc. If the momentum continues then down the track in late 2023, early 2024 it may turn out to be politically and economically advantages then to cut or modify the stage 3 tax cuts.... Let's wait and see.
Hoping Labor planning marathon, not a sprint, for they cannot really be too radical ( think MRRT tax and what happened there) if they want to stay in power, but they are already proving to be a major improvement in all areas than previous corrupt Muppets .
Saying that, those tax cuts do need cancelling or modification as they will turbo charge inequality in Australia. Although I would personally benefit, I am totally against them and it would influence how I vote next election if they were not changed.

I think you missed the word "skilled" before migrants sypkan. Big difference!!! And it's not a 12 month think fest. It'll take at least 12 months before any applications are even processed so the 3 to 4 year plans looks pretty solid to me. How about we wait 3 to 4 years before being so negative. It's better than the last 10 years we have waited with sweet f'all being done.

It’s not so much the politicians involved it’s more that ASIC has done nothing about it , people get greedy ( some desperate )and when something sounds too good to be true it usually is . The fact that the financial director blew the whistle and nothing was done is really suss .

Genuine question: Are you the only person left in Australia who is still falling for the crazy lie that Australia’s skilled migration program is actually bringing in skilled migrants?
You are aware that the average wage for a skilled migrant is tens of thousands of dollars lower than the average Australian wage aren’t you?
You honestly believe we are importing hundreds of thousands …..millions…..of skilled workers and not food delivery service drivers / kitchen hands / massage lounge workers ?
That would be a hard lol if it wasn’t a bit scary.

That would be a hard lol if it wasn’t a bit scary.
Genuine Answer: I am a skilled migrant. Been here since 1991 and have been an Australian citizen for 27 years. Got a job 2 months after arriving and have been employed ever since. My wage has been equal if not better than any other Australian and I have contributed 32 years worth of PAYG and disposable income to the economy. So if Labor gets the mix correct like they plan to i.e. in critical industries such as health, trades, manufacturing and tech then all the best to them. Australia will be a better place for it. I think it's worth sucking it up and giving it a go. As I said it can't be worse than the last 10 years.
Now as to your usual fall back comment about Uber drivers, reduced wages etc, etc all I'll say is you are just parroting the same old homophobic bullshit we get shoved down our throats by the right wing media in this country, which basically capitalises on the fear of ignorant dumb fucks like yourself.
Maybe it needs to be pointed out to you that yes an Indian doctor who migrates to Australia that can't get work in his profession becomes an Uber driver hence the pay disparity. But to say we are importing unskilled massage parlour workers, Uber drivers, etc on masse under some type of crazy lie is just a crazy lie in itself.
Like I said bloke - there is a big difference between skilled and unskilled migrants and their respective contributions towards Australian society.
I’m a right-wing homophobe because I accurately called bullshit on the skilled immigration rort? And that rort can’t possibly exist because you arrived as a genuine skilled immigrant before the rort began?
Rightio bloke
Labor does not want “the correct mix”. Labor wants to firehose warm bodies into our population irrespective of their talents or abilities.
Here’s Australia’s leading immigration demographer to set you straight. This is from 2018 but is not just factually correct, but probably understated about the current situation which is acutely worse than it was even then.
