Peter Garrett Online Forum

Why is Peter Garrett a hypocrite? Well leaving aside the fact that becoming a politician pretty much (with a few honourable exceptions) means you are a hypocrite because you obviously have to abandon many personal beliefs in order to fit the party line and your leaders personal prejudices, in his case it started very early. Garrett and the Oils spent about ywenty years preaching loudly against the capitalist system that made them millionaires and called many times for the land to be returned to its traditional owners. Garrett at least owns a large tract of land in the southern highlands of NSW which he has made no effort to return to it's traditional owners. More recently he (as bass guy notes further down) abandoned his green convictions in order to join Kevin's Labor party in order to get a safe seat. He is pretty much gagged because of his amazing ability to openly criticise his own party and has been shoved into roles that the Labor party really doesn't care about. Frankly I would rather have anyone else as Arts Minister. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
