Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Midnight Oil have sold over 20 million Albums. Their hit 'Beds are Burning' is regarded as one of the great political anthems and rated as Australia's third greatest ever song.
Moana Maniapoto speaks to the frontman and former Labour Politician Peter Garrett from his office in Sydney.
WOW!!! Thanks for this remarkably crafted interview and edit of a MOST MOST MOST remarkable national treasure. Australia is a lucky country to have Peter Garrett amongst our people
As usual, Peter Garett uses his emense Intellect and compassion to hammer home the importance of one of most serious issues facing every Australian today
Peter Garrett is a world treasure!
Ask The Traditional owners if he is ,,
Peter Garrett should have been ashamed of what he done to Aboriginal people in Borroloola."
Inspirational human being. "Don't be self-conscious....just take it to the max" Peter certainly has proved that out. The band is killing it on their final tour that is underway right now.. All the passion is still there and at age 69, Peter Garrett is still busting the moves......just like he always has.
I gave this video a Like even though they didnt get Peter to do any dancing
Great interview!
Hot take: REM was America's answer to Midnight Oil. Politically charged lyrics, bald front man, similar core musical influences.
Fantastic interview. Thank you!
This is a really great interview that in many ways teases out the evolution of my understanding of the place that the Aboriginal peoples have in our national discourse. Peter's remarks around not having a proper understanding of the social injustices of colonisation in his and my formative years ring perfectly true with me. Aboriginal interaction with white people was taught to us at at school (1970s) in a very trite way, that could easily be ignored by us white people.
Now respect for first nations peoples and the recognition of social injustice ais a mainstream cause.
The Oils opened my eyes to so many important social issues and I am so bloody proud of them as an Australian. Bless 'em forever.
Ah Moana, that was a super interview. Great questions , really insightful answers. It's so refreshing to listen to two intelligent people discussing big issues. Nga mihi nui ki a korua.
‼️Timeless ; may Peter continue to bring another 30 years to both us ‘ole dudes and new untapped fans ✅
Went to the Brussels and Utrecht concerts, they were the best days of my life. Now going to 2 melbourne concerts. Plane tickets cost around 4000 but I hope it's worth it
What a fabulous production. Well done. Four days after the event the Horden show, the last ever, is still rattling around my nervous system like electricity.
I as a vet support you for you are doing
This man, Peter Garrett, is one intelligent caring human. Some people/artists will say things or seem to become activists yet they dont believe one word they are saying. They do it just to make themselves become more popular. Im not saying all of them do that, but you can see the ones that do. This man, truly stands behind his message and is honest and humble. In my opinion Peter Garrett is Australia's Treasure and should be admired by him, and the entire band.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
I am in Canada and we have similar issues for our Indigenous people. To think that so many unmarked graves all of Indigenous children have been found is nauseating to me. God only knows how many more there are. So, the same as Peter Garrett, it is their land and we should give them respect.
Great interview . They were amazing here in Ōtautahi on Thursday night.
I didn't like Beds Are Burning as much because it sounded commercial. Place Without a Postcard is also my favourite. Red Sails, and 10, 9, 8 close. Ah, who am I kidding. There are no non-favourites.
13:52 Is a great question. And the answer "I would have preferred the resource minister to make the decision i.e. "I didn't want to be involved". He was and he approved new mines.
"Forward motion... taking it to the max... is everything", but is it? I could write more. Out of respect for Peter Garrett as a fellow human being, his subseuquent appearance on 'Australian Story' (i.e. after this appearance on 'Te Ao with Moana') and the uploading of that interview by the 'Australian Broadcasting Corporation' to 'UA-cam' (which prompted my comment here... see below), I shall leave it at that.
Please note: the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has disabled comments under the aforementioned 'Australian Story' episode. They state in the description of the video that appearing on 'Australian Story' requires a significant investment of time and energy. This is in the context of stating that not all have accepted their invitation to appear on the program because they are too busy. Of course, by implication Peter Garrett did make the time and energy sacrifice. Disclosure: it was watching that 'Australian Story' episode which has prompted my comment here. I chose this video featuring Peter Garrett as it most closely resembled the scope of the 'Australian Story' episode. At least so far as I was able to find. I am thankful to 'Te Ao with Moana' for the opportunity to make this comment. Thank-you.
I am not in the business of cutting myself off from those who read my words. If anyone wishes to contact me to have a conversation about my (largely rhetorical) question at the outset to this comment then you are welcome to reply to me here. Perhaps then we are able to take the conversation elsewhere i.e. out of respect to all involved here. In the meantime (as the expression goes), I appreciate your time and attention in reading.
Have so much respect for Peter. Hugely intelligent, talented and caring. And damn fine looking.
Thank You Moana for this interview with Peter Garrett. His comments on Rupert Murdoch were not just spot on, it's the heart of what has evolved into antagonistic conservative media. I understand that in the UK, the Murdoch family was not just shut down they had their visas revoked and were pushed out and that is how they ended up in the US and Canada. The Murdoch effect here in the US is repeating like really bad heartburn. The billion dollar court cases against The Murdochs by Dominion and now Smartmatic might just end the Murdoch's run in North America altogether and send them packing back to Australia permanently.
He looks so much like Chris Slade, the drummer of AC DC at times Also looks like tbe guy from the Motley Crue video Smoking in the Boys room.
He's a good brave man.
The Blokes in Oz will NEVER countenance a woman at the lead.
It's worth a watch, so sad I missed the last tour.
David Bowie was a musical genius and seemingly a great person, but his self-righteousness about other countries' "racism" was more than a bit myopic. I mean any time someone from England (or France, Spain, Portugal etc.) tries to lecture Australians or Americans about racism, surely they are overlooking that Western Europe effectively invented colonialism and the Atlantic Slave Trade. Plus many of those same countries resisted immigration and continue to resist it to this day. So it's great to address those issues but...fix yourself first.
it is complicated.. initially over 160k thousand people were trafficked to Australia.. 1 in 5 was a boy child aged between 10 and 14.. many of the female convicts brought children with them.. inhumane conditions.. it’s a sad story all round.. a sad state of affairs.. “you wouldn’t read about it” ☝️
And what exactly are you trying to tell us? That anyone with white skin is not allowed to criticise racism?
Oh, Pete, not 'deeply racist?' I was on the Sorry Day march across the bridge.
❤ Him!!
He had me again, right up to when he said "compensation".
Great IV, Moana, thank you
I would vote for him to be PM.
6:29 No one ever questioned why they were singing songs about Aboriginal people. Not that I heard their words as being controversial and I'm from the west of Sydney. Busby, Miller Cartwright. Places you'd expect highly racist sentiments but the fact is. Aborigines lived with us and we lived with them.
We never held those expect racist views. How could we, they were our neighbours. The people we interacted with on a daily basis.....They were just people in our community.
What I hear is Garrett just being a politician. Causing controversy and sales for his records.
''Beds are burning'' is still one very powerful song indeed , as I get older I get more and more appalled by white entitled atttiudes and I am white NZ european myself
If your so appalled go back to Europe
It's the other way around with the victim mentality and thinking they are entitled. There is no such thing unless "you" choose to believe that so STFU and go away
He found out like all know politics is wrong nothing is achievable
just wait until i tell him about the other things.. he’s going to react.🚬🤠
Garrett is a goof
But also, you say that you never learned anything about it in school. So your parents didn't teach you? That's why school matters?
Garret is a perfect example of how music should not cross into politics. Just like bono and Lennon they are great musicians but not politicians, Bowie is another one, great musician but what people don’t realise is musicians are musicians they are in their own world, they ain’t politicians and certainly not good at making decisions for everyone else. This woman loves people like this because she is a racist.
You really backed up everything you sang about when you went into politics didn't ya Pete?! Weak as!
I did see him as a turn coat at the time, But i saw it as an opportunity to make change but then you have to tow the party line, very convoluted really. I think he could have done more good singing and making the bastards accountable
I like Julia Gillard until she back stabbed Kevin Rudd. Then I was not a fan.
