What the hell is wrong with Peter Garrett? As lead singer of Midnight Oil, he championed conservation and Aborigional Rights! Midnight Oil came all the way to British Columbia and held a free concert in the Carmanah Valley to oppose logging of the last old growth temperate rainforest in the world! I was a huge fan of Midnight Oil and their inspiring and powerful lyrics. I am COMPLETELY dumbfounded by his 180 degree turn. Absolutly STUNNING! There should be a new meaning in the dictionary for TURNCOAT-Peter Garrett!

This man is a disgrace he for a long time supported conservation and was active in promoting it.It seems that he has fallen victim to Japanese brain washing tactics.The large majority of Australians have shown time and again that they do not agree with the wishy washy attitude to whaling and have demanded action be taken.However revenge is sweet and they will have revenge at the next general election.

Garrett is in total danger of losing his seat and probably his head.... I am ashamed that he has become such a weak front man when he was always so vocal and proud of what he stood up for. Sit down now and get to the back of the houses
