Interesting that the rest of the Oils, without Bones Hillman, have formed a band with the Violent Femmes' Brian Ritchie! Now that's bizarre
Garratt sat for the senate in 1984, so he never really despised it, just said he did because thats the view of the people who like his music!!
Yeah for the NDM, a bit different that running under the labour party...
He should of ran as an independant...
Quite right. Doesn't matter what he thinks anymore, he is hamstrung by the party machine. It's much easier for someone like him to be in opposition, to have something to rail against. I'm hoping that the shows on the weekend give him a little confidence to shake things up in Canberra a bit more - and regain his rightful place as a very effective and astute trouble-maker.
I agree Zip zap, .... but he is now in a more powerful position to influence policy that relates to conserving the environment. Which is why he is doing it.
Give him some time, he is still a relative newby, he can still shake things up. He is a very intelligent man.
