No Group today lives up to the epic Midnight Oil, wish Peter would finish with politics and come back and sing about the issues

[poopy2010tative]

Did any body else out there always doubt his sincerity.Maybe he just has a short memory,at best.

[openmindedozzie]

Yeah well he's now the Australian Cabinet Minister for Climate Change in The Australian Labor Party...... How the mighty have fallen......

[ExpieMF]

US forces got the nod alright.

[JuanMaria2012]

You sell out shaking hands AND LAUGHING with a man who killed over 1 million Iraq people. US FORCES GOT THE NOD FROM YOU TODAY AND CHINA IS PISSED OFF, LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW WHEN THE WAR BEGINS I COMING TRUE

[999realthings]

I can't take Peter seriously as a PM cause of his dancing.

[FRANK101101101]

@Auslady I Agree 100%, he more than likely did more for this country as a musician in the past than he ever will in politics, I hope I am wrong but I honestly think pete is just to good a bloke for politics......

[Wishiwasinthe70s]
