Australian personality #5 - Peter Garrett

Peter Garrett is the ex lead singer of the internationally famous rock back Midnight Oil (1973 - 2002) and current Labor Party Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment & Heritage, Arts.

While a rock star, he was always very committed to environmental causes and a strong critical of United States military and foreign policies.

As a politician, he continues involved in such causes, but is obviously quieter.

Some say he's not the same. Others say he's causing the biggest impact he could. Who am I to judge? Good luck, Garrett!
