00:57:02,120 They've got to get out and get involved. 975 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,720 NARRATOR: As Garrett threatens to upset the established 976 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,120 political parties, it's not surprising 977 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,240 that he has been attacked for being emotional, naive 978 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:11,960 and for being a rock star. 979 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,080 {\an3}Do you think that because you are well known that people will vote for you 980 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,760 {\an3}because it is a trendy thing, and they know who you are rather than the issue 981 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:17,840 {\an3}that you're standing for? 982 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,320 PETER: Everyone's vote is worthwhile. 983 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:20,600 Whatever

about the issue 986 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,840 even if they weren't articulate about it particularly, 987 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,720 to have an opportunity to represent that feeling. 988

00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,200 so it was all, it was all a bit strange. 998 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:05,200 I guess in a way I was a bit more, you know, distant from it. 999 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:10,000
