Garrett Picks Up Ministerial Post in Australia
Peter Garrett, for 25 years the frontman of Midnight Oil - known for their passionate songs about social and environmental issues, has completed his meteoric rise through the ranks of Australia's Labor party when he was yesterday (29/11/07) named environment minister in the newly elected government. The 54-year-old said he was "excited and humbled" by the opportunity. His portfolio will also include heritage and the arts. Garrett disbanded Midnight Oil in 2002 to concentrate on politics and was elected to parliament two years later
