AustralianPoliticsFilter: Congressman John “Orleans” Hall has nothing on Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett, who quit singing political rock to start rocking politics, was elected to the Aussie Parliament in ’04 and has now been named the Labor Party’s “Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Reconciliation and the Arts” (whew, what a title). But it’s not all “Blue Sky (His)”: he’s been attacked by a former environmental activist ally in the Green Party and mimicked by Treasurer Peter (no relation to Elvis) Costello. At least he’s healthy, unlike some Australian singers (or singers in Australia).
