Forty years ago, after a resolute, successful campaign get their land, traditional owners at Uluru showed incredible generosity by leasing the land to all Australians enabling the creation of Uluru/Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Our shows out there were amongst the most meaningful ever.

The Kimberley region is special: extraordinary landscapes, rich culture, brilliant coastline. WA Labor gov mustn’t allow horrendous fracking, or massive gas developments to disfigure and ruin this part of Oz.

Today at Jabiluka with Traditional Owner Yvonne Margarula & family, on their first “legal” return to country in 40+ years. Soon this land will join Kakadu NP after one of the most important land rights & conservation struggles in modern Australia. A really important day.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the Australian Conservation Foundation’s 60th in Sydney. Our community & membership based environment groups have fought to protect nature and it’s wonders, adding much to the quality of life in Australia. More to do, but what a great legacy to build on.

Great to see NSW finally backing local artists with the formal introduction of Michael’s Rule, a new initiative that encourages international tours to include an Australian support act on their lineup.
The rest of the country better follow suit. Our industry needs it!

shouldn't be in charge of Australia: Character; plays race card, defaults to attack, accepts One Nation votes. Competence; terrible record as minister, abysmal campaign. Vision; absent. Wilfully anti climate & environment.

Yesterday Mehdi Yarrahi the Iranian protest singer, got 74 lashes for writing about the strict dress code women have to follow in that country. So today we’ll dedicate this song to him and everyone speaking the truth in anti-democratic states, especially theocracies: petergarrett.lnk.to/GOMS

Big thanks to all who came out in Perth last night. Great - albeit ironic, to play at the old power station. With WA oceans boiling, Woodside planet wreckers T-shirt was put to good use!

‘God On My Side’ - out now: petergarrett.lnk.to/GOMS
This song implies if there is one God, then she/he is everyone’s, not an exclusive coverall which justifies inflicting violence. Love in action, standing up to defend all human rights, is the only antidote to hate & persecution.
