  • 4:30 of pop/political perfection.........cant find that on todays top 10.........today is the 'me' generation and reality tv that just numbs the masses,like novacaine during an election year........

  • At least we know one thing...he didn't lip sing...

    Peter, why did you enter politics, I actually LIKED you as a singer

  • one of the greatest bands ever, along with peter gabriel and ELO, thumbs up if u agree! and haters go to hell

  • Thank you Midnight Oil. This is a wonderful work.

  • Great song. Magi Thai 8:14PM 2/24/2012

  • Anyone noticed the subliminal messages? Try downloading it and go over it frame by frame. "JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS, CSR GUILTY..." can be found.

  • Pause at 2:30.

    Put on the Spider-man's song.

    Enjoy.

  • Great lyrics. Loved their live shows.

  • Jazz hands!

    

  • E moji Hrvati makarani,i ostali, gdje ste sve kosti ostavili da bi djecu prehranili,počivali u miru!

  • Your mother doesnt love you? I dont blame her or your father for rejecting you. You are an immense source of shame and disappointment for your parents. They wish you would end it and go kill yourself.

  • nothings as precious as a hole in the ground... sad

  • TO MÓJ ULUBIONY KAWAŁEK TEJ GRUPY , SUPER

  • please, copy left!

  • Seemingly modern society needs to be fearing something at all times, money, war, environmental. Don't believe the hype. Make your own decisions. Most people just bend over and take it deep. Still, keeps them in check and keeps the coffers of a few filling.

  • who's gonna shave me?

    

  • This song is a sad truth about the town of wittenoom in the 60s where nearly everyone in the town contracted diseases from blue abestos just for food on the table while sacreficing there bodies :(

  • love these guys--terrific guitar playing

  • @0verkill2010 I don't think you quite realize that most of what you've said is actually fairly liberal. The only part of your argument that doesn't seem to hold water is the last bit about the "liberal media". Btdubs, the media that tends to skate over the less elegant facts about the US tend to be more conservative. You're one of us and don't even know it. And one last point: Why are there so many fucking reactionaries listening to Midnight Oil?

  • @CurlyQful1

    In the U.S. the lmajority of the media is referred to as the libral media. The term conservative and liberal doesnt mean the same in britain or Australia. I know the definiton of the words themselves would be similar here as there but used in a different context.

  • @CurlyQful1

    Where are you from anyway because both the right and the left know the majority of the media in the U.S. is left slanted, pro obama. As far as media skating over unelegant facts our media is incredibly hyppocritical. They will crucify Republicans when they are caught doing something inappropriate but will make excuses for a Democrat caught doing the same thing. As far as the "reactionaries" question I dont fucking know.

  • @jonzer1153 Well said. Just about every successful entrepreneur will tell you that you can't make money working for someone else. Ironically, I read this reiterated in Forbes Magazine of all places.

  • THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS BALLS! THE LIBERALS SAID THEY NEW HOW AND WHERE TO LEAD US AND TEHY'RE JUST DONE. WRONG WAY FRIENDS. THAT'S WHAT I SAY FROM BRAZIL TO THE WORLD. WE ALL NEED REVOLUTION. STOP CRUSHING ALL PEOPLE FROM ALL NATIONS FOR THE PALESURE OF A FEW. THIS MUST NOT LAST ANY LONGER!

  • sparkigal. i totally agree with you. although im in uk.

    e.mail me.. hasanrolf@hotmail.co.uk. xx

  • Enorme. Midnight Oil, it was my favorite group with Dire Straits. Kiss from France !

  • I am the middle class USA, and I try...I just try..

  • Blue shit since he is in the machine.

  • You Australians had better keep up the good fight because here in the U.S. we are just about done. Economy is in the shitter. NDAA act gives homeland security the right to call citizens enemy combatants and hold them indefinitely without charging them with a crime. The feds just awarded private contractor KBR to run the FEMA detainment camps. TSA will have "viper" teams making random checks of citizens in the streets. Liberal left wing media ignores all this or puts a positive spin on it.

  • @overkill2010 You Right Wing Extremists really do love your conspiracy theories . . . simply NUTS.

  • @jayatfreelance No dumbass google and wikipedia just protested the PIPA bill which would have censored the web. Our freedom is being restricted more and government continues to gain power. You are a typical left wing douche with his head in his ass.

  • @overkill2010 Hey, Right Wing ball-licker - PIPA was proposed by the Right Wing Republicans. Get your facts straight, moron.

  • @jayatfreelance Hey left wing cum drinker, I never claimed to be right wing. Quit trying to make poltical comments and stick to making your fucking shitty faggot videos. You have to be one dumb mother fucker to post some pussy ass shit like that on your page and then call other people ball lickers when you are obviously the leading authority on sucking dick.

  • @overkill2010 If you would just take time off from wanking off to your Rick Santorum poster and do a little bit of self-examination, you would discover that you are a rabid Right Wing Extremist. BTW - anyone as publicly anti-gay as you are is most probably in-the-closet and spends his weekends buying & selling blow-jobs in dark alleys.

  • @jayatfreelance now i'm getting accused of masturbation by the biggest jack off on you tube. I would rather be accused of being extreme than be a pussy like you.

    " anyone as publicly anti-gay as you are is most probably in-the-closet and spends his weekends buying & selling blow-jobs in dark alleys."

    No one wants to hear your description of your dream job. Ron Paul is not the solution so you fail there also. There is no solution you fucking idiot.

  • @jayatfreelance

    Do a little introspection yourself and you will realize that you are a flaming left wing faggot. Always the hyppocrite bullshit claim of tolerance as long as everyone thinks exactly as you. You will tolerate a homosexual as long as they dont criticize the left. You would hate a black man for voting republican.

  • @overkill2010 bahahahahahahaha you're like a hilarious homophobic cartoon character, this is hilarious. what kind of person gets into arguments like this on a YOUTUBE comment page? you're a class act, dude. all the way.

  • @chuck555

    There is no such thing as homophobia fag.

  • @overkill2010 ahahhaha, of course there isn't, because you aren't "afraid" of gay people, you just think they're gross. because you're afraid of them. because you're probably gay and clearly in denial. who else would go straight to gay insults when they get into an argument? you're all "cum drinker" this and "cock smoker" that. compensating for being gay by being EXTRA ULTRA ANTI GAY. you're totally fooling us all, overkill2010! good job!

  • @overkill2010 by the way, homophobia is indeed real. it's actually even in the dictionary. the phrase has existed for over sixty years, and homophobia itself has existed for much longer. and further still, if you look up the word, you'll see you fall RIGHT into the description.

    homophobia (ˌhəʊməʊˈfəʊbɪə) — n

    intense hatred or fear of homosexuals or homosexuality.

    "intense hatred". yeah, that's you.

  • @chuck555 It's in the dictionary - it must be real. I find gays distasteful and don't normally associate with them yet I am not fearful of them or hate them. I just find gays queer and they can shunt each other till the sky turns brown if they think they can ever get married. Same Sex Civil Union is all they deserve because they are different, not less not more and can never marry. So fuck off poofter

  • @dalmanation i'm a girl, so i'm pretty sure i can't be, in your words, a 'poofter'. 'i just find gays queer' is one of the funniest things i've ever read. ahaha, gays have the legal right to marry all over and they're continuing to gain ground, it's only a matter of time until gay marriage is legal everywhere. looks like your perfect world isn't going to exist, toooo baaaaaad.

  • @jayatfreelance By the way both parties are two sides of the same coin. That is why I said we are pretty much screwed in this country. You just assumed I was right wing because you are a fucking idiot with his head in the sand when it isnt up obamas ass.

  • @overkill2010 I see. You are one of these Ron Paul lube-jobs. Crazy follows crazy!

  • @jayatfreelance

    Your come backs suck, they're even lamer than your shitty videos. Next time you disagree with someone else's opinion keep your mouth shut like a good little bitch and you wont get your felings hurt.

  • @overkill2010 It's obvious you're the one who lives in a glass house . . . look at all your whining above. I know snails with more backbone than you . . . and you don't know how to spell "feelings"? What, were you crying while you were typing? You are a typical Right Wing trailer-park loser.

  • @jayat queer dance Wow! That's all you got? A remark about a typo? You have got to be the lamest bitch in here. And you even admit your queer in your comments section in your video. I hope you like me making you feel like a bitch because it's not going to stop. The fun is just getting started pal.

  • @overkill2010 Hey Sweetheart, I just posted on your profile . . . I think you'll enjoy it.

  • @jayatqueerdance

    You got a crush on me now bitch? Save your videos and pet names for your boyfriends. Obviously no one enjoys your work. Your videos are so shitty you cant break 5 views on most them with whole fucking world watching you tube. fail again loser.

  • @overkill2010 "Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia - the fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that some heterosexual people hold for gay individuals - is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the person is either unaware or denies. A study provides empirical evidence that is consistent with that theory" - From the article I sent to you. So - it's you that has the crush on me.

  • @jayatqueerdance

    Wrong buttboy, There is no such thing as homophobia. It is something that sick fucks like you invented to try and reverse the shame. You try to convince someone that is totally staight that if they even criticise homosexuality that they themselves must be gay. I am not afraid of faggots, I find them disgusting. Sorry kid, that little mind trick doesnt work on me.

  • @overkill2010 wow, you're pathetic.

  • @chuck555

    Your pathetic for getting into other peoples arguments.

  • @overkill2010 pfft, hardly. i call pathetic like i see it. hardly an argument, just a juvenile exchange of words. and you're even more pathetic for not knowing the proper use for a simple, first grade word such as "you're".

  • @chuck555

    That's right, this is just a comment section so who gives a fuck about spelling. Go fuck yourself.

  • @overkill2010

    If it was juvenile and you are above that then why comment? Hyppocrite little bitch.

  • @overkill2010 spelling affects your credibility. not that you have any, but you're just digging your stupid, bigoted, asshole grave deeper. keep it up, you're a winner.

  • @overkill2010 also, you realize this is YOUTUBE, right? public space, public forum. you want to keep your arguments private? email the guy.

  • @chuck555

    The little bitch tried to flame me for a comment that wasnt directed at anyone personally. He made it public so mind YOU'RE own business bitch.

  • @jayatfreelance

    You must have forgotten that you are the one that started sending me messages like some groupie.

  • @overkill2010 I don't mind your name-calling at all, because your M O T H E R calls me "the monster f--- of her life". Happy Saturday!

  • @jayatfreelance

    Thats it now? your awesome comeback is a mother joke? Before you can fuck some one you gotta get it up first limp dick.

  • @overkill2010 Awww . . . too bad your ma doesn't love you and loves me stretching out all her holes instead.

  • @overkill2010 "i'm so tough! i get into fights on a youtube comment page! feel my anti-gay wrath! noooooooooooo hoooooooomo!!"

  • @chuck555

    I'm not a sensitve little pussy like you. Go get a life and quit worrying about other peoples disagreements.

  • @overkill2010 i was trying to have a life and watch a couple of midnight oil videos. unfortunately, some bigoted asshole's childish stupidity got in the way of that.

  • @chuck555

    If my comments to someone else have that much of an effect on you then that goes to show how weak minded you are. Dont go through life being such a pussy.

  • @overkill2010 your bigoted, ignorant, asshole comments had enough of an "effect" on me to post a pithy three word reply, "wow, you're pathetic". a comment which apparently had enough of an effect on YOU for you to not only reply, but attack and threaten me. i fail to see how standing up for an entire group of individuals against a bigoted piece of shit makes me 'weak minded'. it's awesome that YOU feel so weak that you have to threaten a GIRL, though. uh oh, i hope you don't kick my ass, bro!!

  • Comment removed

  • @chuck555 I would LOVE to see "overkill2010" talk to anyone in that fashion face-to-face . . . Mr. Keyboard Commando probably wouldn't last 5 seconds.

  • @jayatfreelance oh, he's an internet winner, that's for sure.

  • @chuck555

    Also you need to stop being a whiny little bitch.

  • @chuck555

    I see you have backstreet boys in YOUR favorites. Another senstive cock smoker.

  • @overkill2010 considering i have a vagina, i would consider my actions as a cocksmoker to be pretty damn straight, actually. but try again, turd!!

  • @chuck555

    I already told you to quit being a whiny bitch.

  • @overkill2010 oh, or what? you're gonna kick my ass? do it, beat up a girl. i'd love to see you try to throw down with me.

  • @chuck555 Throw down??? Mr. "overkill2010" wouldn't even show up! At the last minute, he'll say he has "a more pressing engagement" (in trailer park-ese, of course) which of course would be trolling back alleys for other in-the-closet cocks to play with.

    In real life, people like "overkill2010" are shriveled, little cowards with pencil dicks and raisin balls!

  • @jayatfreelance hahaha! i'd love to see this dude in person. i think you may have described him to a T.

  • @overkill2010 way to be assuming, though. didn't you rail someone earlier for 'assuming' you were right wing? maybe you shouldn't have assumed i'm a dude. fail!

  • good song

  • JJ93101 Save your money this guy was awesome!!!

    Putzs esse cara o Eriktormentor ta por fora,se enterra garoto nao sabe o q e`som de qualidade. Muito loko esse som.

  • i will give $100 to anybody who can find a person with better dance moves

  • @JJ93101

    the guy with 'spirit fingers' from the movie 'bring it on'!

  • é que o cara ta acostumado com Restart, Michel Teló Gustavo lima Justin Bieber esses lixos que não tem nem como reciclar só queimando mesmo !!!!!!

  • uma banda senssacional

  • Boa resposta amigo

  • kkkkkkkkkkk q porcaria de banda

  • @Eriktormentor Não deve ser da sua época, então você não teria competência pra julgar isso. Esse som é bom demais!

    Hoje em dia seus ouvidos estão acostumados com coisa de menor qualidade.

  • This might be a bit weird, but does any body know where was that tombstone shot?

  • People say that Peter Garrett is a sell out, betrayer etc. Maybe he is, I don't know. What I DO know is that Midnight Oil's songs, have had a HUGE impact on the way that many people think about the environment, myself included, and as a result I now make informed choices when it comes to the way I treat this beautiful country of mine. Would I do/think the same if it weren't for them? Chances are probably not.So while Pete may not lead the fight he did back then, the message hasn't changed.

  • @SparkiGal I agree. They have changed the world. In fact he's the only Labour poli I support. He should become an Independent

  • @SparkiGal we need to be responsible about the enviroment,not worship it to the point where it endangers people's ability to survive and prosper

  • Sold his beliefs and his sole to be a grub poly - onya Pete

  • to all the idiots who have to bitch about everything,i ask you this "how many videos do you have to your credit?"

  • @dinkydober none but I don't sellout on my views either

  • I love his hair! oh wait he has none =) <3

  • Mining Tax forever hey Pete?

  • @NiceHeadMr I dont think he supports it. Besides, the Constitution says they cant do this. We gotta think positive. Like, they aren't gonna be back!

  • Peter Garrett - sellout 2011

  • @mangodebango love his music.hate this politics .

  • Great song! Great social message! Great labor\worker song.

  • @fingersmalone7 he's total crap.... Great singer.. shit poly

  • Comment removed

  • there's subliminal messages in this

  • Too bad that Peter Garret is a politically incompentant sell out.Should of stuck to music and sticking it to the man.

  • <3

  • Great song but he dances like a donut!

  • @MsSalemSaberhagen WOW! Thank you so much! And I agree with you whole-heartedly. Without our lingo, music etc. Australia wouldn't be what it was today!! :)

  • a shame they are better known for beds are burning as this is pure genius

  • the candystore paupers lie to the shareholders......dont worry Wall Street will 'Shave me'

  • What does he do these days? Oh yes, sell uranium to India who has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

  • @n4wgt To be fair he just said the other day that he joined the labor party when it was against it and he will still be against it.

  • I love Wittenoom WA!

  • muito boa musica...midnight oil sempre!!!

  • ...in 2006, it was said that there was still 36 people living in Wittenoom, the place in this video clip...also, people, anyone else notice the subliminal messaging in the video clip?

  • @StreetBoyWill in 2009 when I visted there, there was only 5 ppl, and the lady you still ran the gem shop, a piece of paradise.

  • AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

  • niech"YOU TUBE" trwa po wieczne czasy,dzieki niemu słucham muzyki swojej młodosci,kiedyś muzyki mogłam posłuchać tylko w LISCIE PRZEBOJÓW PROGRAMU TRZECIEGO,ale zupełnie co innego słuchać muzyki tyko w radio ,a co innego widzieć wykonawce oko w oko,po tylu latach wreszcie portal dla mnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Like.

    

  • does anyone else see the irony of Vimeo owning the rights to this?

  • mad mad memories of getting lost in this town in middle of night. ghost town. memories forever

  • In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a Blue Sky Town.

    Stark reference to the fact that the Blue Asbestos was so thoroughly mined and so inadequately handled that the streets were literally lined with fibres. When people drove on the roads it would pick up and fly on the winds and settle in another place.

    You can still visit the town, Postcards WA did a bit on the only 2 remaining residents living there.

  • @JetJockey87 The other unspoken problem..... some of us (I don't drive) drive cars with asbestos laden clutches and brake pads spewing out dust for all to breath. Sort it out, we are nearly in the 20teens.............

  • @karizma8175 no you don't , clutch plates and drum brake linings are made from organic material now days.

  • "who's gonna shave me" haha, jk jk

  • Aussies actually sing about real problems, that's why i love Australian music, its not music about guys bitching when a girl leaves them, its an actual problem and reason for the song

  • My friend's dad used to work for the Sante Fe railroad. It was a dirty job and he always had stomach aches from stress and worry. One time he told us, "Going to work is like facing the black gates of hell."

  • hsv006 im sorry about your grandad my grandad also worked there but he died probly too young for mesotheleoma to take hold. what did the coward west australian government do about it? the weakest option they dis owned the town pathetic

  • My Dad's, Dad was killed by an asbestos related disease, his wife also died of mesotheleoma, this is a serious issue and I'm glad people still listen to this song.

    They did live and work up in Wittenoom, Western Austraila for 2 years, it will always be a permanent blip on the map for myself. Thanks CSR...

  • Does he say "Who's gonna SHAVE me"?

  • @ralgarte

    Well, I guess he found someone.

  • @ralgarte i think he actually does, referring to the amount of money that the mine brings in to his family, so if he stops then he loses the basic necessities of life

  • why is it ,when they cried ,their was no need for un ,,?

  • Seriously, who can dislike this song???

  • I remember back in the '80's that I thought they were a group that was way ahead of their time and I still feel that way today. Great song and band!

  • wow peter garrett cant dance

  • @roryisawesome1 Yes it the called the Garrett dance - unique and moves that only the Oils can replicate

  • Back when Peter Garrett was cool.

  • He became a traitor to man kind!

  • The OILS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

  • i live in Chile.

    We have so much holes on the ground.

    "and the company still takes what it wants."

    And by law.

    :(

  • @leolightyear Sadly it's the same everywhere else, too.

  • Beautiful Rickenbacker.

  • aussies are great musicians, inxs, ice house, crowded house, the church, midnight oil, too bad they are no more high rated

  • @cristinawilligs

    What the Fuck? You forgot AC/DC, How?

  • @JustAnotherYtuber you are right, i forgot them how could i!!!

  • @cristinawilligs It's coz we're ugly!

  • @cristinawilligs Mate, you're forgetting the 2 greatest aussie bands ever - AC/DC and Cold Chisel!

  • @cristinawilligs Men At Work, isn't Temper Trap from Australia too?

  • @quincee33 sorry i named some bands that i remembered at that time did not mean to make a list of all great aussies bands, sorry

  • @cristinawilligs i'm sorry, i just felt like being really rude, people make fun of me for being so old fashioned and snooty....sometimes you just gotta tell someone off for no reason. and yes aussies produce good music, i always thot these guys were from New Zealand.....anyone famous from N.Z.?

  • @quincee33 oh dont worry, i did not find your comment rude

  • @cristinawilligs where are yo from?

  • @quincee33 from paraguay

    

  • @cristinawilligs cool, good soccer.....i think and you can correct me if i'm wrong, was it not Uruguay that beat Paraguay in the World Cup and had a good run.....i remember liking the play of some blonde haired dude who had a great WC ..... name escapes me..... light blue and yellow flag right? and paraguay is red and blue? wait i think his name is Florian??? or is he Argentinian?

  • @quincee33 guess the footballer you are talkin is diego forlan from uruguay, and yes paraguay football team is red white and blue, im not a football fan, but yes our team is great, if you talk to them they would never say any intelligent quote well what can i say, they barely speak spanish, but they are great

  • @quincee33 spain beat paraguay in the world cup quarter finals, and uruguay made it to the semis before being knocked out by netherlands. they lost to germany in play off to finish 4th. diego forlan is the player who you are talking about, and he is from uruguay.

  • @quincee33 Keith Urban was born in NZ and mainly grew up in Australia.

  • @cristinawilligs They still are, Australia has seen some amazing musicians rise to both national and international prominence in recent years, see: Cut Copy, Eskimo Joe, Empire of the Sun, Miami Horror, The Presets, BlueJuice, Art Vs Science, Little Red, Angus & Julia Stone, Boy & Bear, PNAU, Tim & Jean, Gypsy & the Cat, Architecture in Helsinki, Sia, Midnight Juggernauts, Bag Raiders & The Temper Trap have all made waves in international music scenes and festivals. Stop listening to the fox.

  • @ILoveYourBox ill check out, i stopped listening to radio, you know i have no patience since i have to wait that some nice tune plays, thats because im 37 and have the option to listen whatever you want with youtube, anyway thankyou, im not the kind of person to stuck with the music heard in her youth, i always keep my ears open to good music

  • @cristinawilligs thats good to hear, any of those bands are great especially Cut Copy, Miami Horror, PNAU, Bag Raiders, Architecture in Helsinki and Midnight juggernauts, well at least those are my favourites.
