Not everyone is revved up about Peter Garrett. No doubt his one night stand back with the Oils will remind everyone how much he has sold out as a politician.

I dont know, I don't think he has sold out but I think he probably now has a bigger dose of reality and has had to balance his views withthose of the part he joined far better. Yes it would be good if green issues were all politicinas had to worry about but that is just being naive. An individual has to toe the party line because that is the reason the government got elected in the first place - on a broad platform. I am sure he is able to influence within the cabinet more than we will ever know. Peter Garret came into politics with all guns blazing and quickly realised life was not that simple. He had to learn to shut up because he was putting his foot in it more often than not. Personally, although I was never a big fan of Midnight Oil, I always liked him and what he had to say. Of course idelogoies sometimes dont crack it in reality. There is always a shiftng closer to the middle when you get into the practicalities of making things happen. That's life.
I wasn't in Australia when the Oils were doing there thing. Clearly his new role is very polarising for many Australians. I just think that it must be very grating for many who thought that he would take his lyrics to Parliament. Not sure I could expect that. It is just a huge contrast. I am not sure anyone else making the decisions that he has to would be held up to criticism in the same way. Obviously he is just parroting consensus views from the ALP party room.
Interesting discussion. Many polarising views.
I'll be posting an entry on this today, Colin, but we were making digs at him last night while watching the Oils on tv such was the difference to see passion in him again!
We don't want all our politicians to be Wayne Swan. Why can't Ruddco loosen up a bit. I am sure that it will win some votes.
After I initially commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I get
four emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a way you
are able to remove me from that service? Cheers!

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for
about a year and am anxious about switching to
another platform. I have heard excellent things about
blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
