For a start, the band
couldn't put out a single

to be seen to be exploiting
Pete's political campaign.

couldn’t be seen as trying

was that the venues
had to be searched every day.
498

with the police.

503

they searched
the dressing rooms,
the crew room,

00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,600
the crew room,
which we didn't want.

I thought the audiencewere fantastic in that era

about what was happening,

both to the band and also
to the band's singer.
830
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:42,160
And they listened to the music
831
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:44,680
and then they went out
and, you know,
listened to the campaign.
832
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:45,920
And they became a part of it
833
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,280
and some of them
would have had
very high hopes
834
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,800
and others would have
just been doing it for fun

and everything in between
but that didn't matter,
you know.
836
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,520

984
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,600
{\an1}It is the same as
people coming
to a Midnight Oil concert.
985
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,640
I wanted my audience,
who I knew felt strongly
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.

STEPHANIE:
I remember a few
mainstream media individuals
990
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,920
who I guess were stars
at that time having slight
hissy fits
991
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,920
like, "Do you know who I am?
992
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,800
"I want to speak
to Peter Garrett."
993
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,400
{\an3}And in my head I'm going,
"Well you never really wanted
to speak to him before."

{\an1}GIFFORD: But it was a difficult
time because the band
wasn't the band anymore
995
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,760
because Pete was gonna be
in federal politics
996
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,160
and wasn't able to say
"fuck" anymore or anything
like that, you know,
997
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
I probably saw it all
with a great deal
of suspicion really.
1000
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,920
{\an3}I was sort of, "Well, okay.
Pete's doing this thing
1001

"and there's all these people
buzzing around him

something to say.

to the music and I will,

to get into waters

NARRATOR:
This week Garrettand his band, Midnight Oil
1008
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,840
are performing
seven sell out concerts
at Sydney's Horden Pavilion,
1009
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,560
to no fewer than 50,000 fans.
1010
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,480
And everyone we spoke to
said they would vote
for the NDP.
1011
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:40,560
Yay!
1012
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,480
{\an1}He would be a good politician
if he got into it, I reckon.

Will you be voting for him?
1014

Yes.
1015
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,280
{\an3}I'd vote for any
nuclear disarmament party,
1016
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,680
whether it was with
Peter Garrett or not.
1017
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,880
{\an3}I, you know, just don't like
nuclear weapons at all.

is finally standing up for it.

Do you think it's just
a young people's issue?
1020

{\an3}Definitely not.
It's everyone's issue.
Our lives are at stake.

So what sort of a politician
do you think he'll make?
1022
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:03,720
A very good politician.
1023

Are all your friends
voting for him?
1024
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,240
Yeah. I reckon.

talking to television

1031

for a surf club

Pete rushing in to rehearsals

and interviews or whatever,
you know, with a huge folder
of stuff under his arm

he was out there

1042

And then he'd come in
at night and play this
cathartic rock show
1043

and somehow be the one
in the band who did
the most work
1044
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,840
{\an3}and run around the most
and be in a catatonic state
1045

at the end of the night
and then he'd get up
and do it all again.

but if they had done
their homework,
1102

they would have realised
that this was a band
that was talking political songs

from the very first one
on the first album,
Powderworks,
1104

from Peter Garrett
here and now
1121
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:50,840
that if he is elected
to the senate,
1122

he will resign,
he will leave Midnight Oil

his previous career
1124

and he will devote himself
full time to the job
of being senator.

Now if he doesn't do that,

if he doesn't front
the people to that extent,

there was the Nuclear
Disarmament Party.
1231

was polling something
like 7.7% of the vote.

sort of a pointer

of gaining a senate majority
1238

1241

and still appears
as a loose coalition
of anti-nuclear groups
1242

against the mining of uranium
1243

and the existence of foreign
defence bases in Australia.
1244
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,320
Certainly the government
was worried enough
during the campaign
1245
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,520
about the slip
of support to the NDP
1246

that a vote for Garrett
or Meltzer
1247

great interest indeed

that Peter Garrett

That was
Pete’s first venture
1314
01:16:57,640 --> 01:16:59,840
into the sort of
political arena.
1315
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,160
I think he was glad
that he didn't win it,
1316
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,680
and we were
all pretty relieved
when he failed.
1317
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,600
(LAUGHING)
He didn't actually fail
1318
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,880
but as far as to get
the seat, yeah.
1319
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,080
Pete didn't really want
to be a senator.
1320
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,600
You know, the issue
was the most important
thing for him.
1321
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,400
He really wanted
to see the issue
on the front pages,
1322
01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:19,440
which we achieved fantastically.
1323
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,280
Um, I think
it would have been terrible
1324
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,280
if he had gone
to Canberra as a senator.
1325
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,960
Um, but I think
what he did
1326
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,440
by having a red-hot go
at it, um,
1327
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,080
was achieve exactly
what he and everyone else
1328
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,360
in the nuclear disarmament
movement really wanted,
1329
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:35,920
which was to make
the issue addressed
1330
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,320
and taken more seriously.

Mr. Hawke led the children
into a Parliament House
committee room.
1333
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:43,520
There was undoubtedly
one common thread
1334
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:44,840
running through the questions.
1335
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,840
Why do you continue
mining uranium
1336
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,080
when we know it is used
for nuclear bombs?
1337
01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:53,080
If there was a nuclear war
what would happen
to Australia itself?
1338
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:54,760
Would you have
a nuclear fallout shelter?
1339
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,400
Mr. Hawke, you sell
uranium overseas,
1340
01:17:58,480 --> 01:18:01,400
so how can you be sure
that it will be used
1341
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:03,440
in a manner
that you want it to be used?
1342
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,720

1343

{\an8}BOB HAWKE:
We as a government,
1353
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,440

with the referendum

{\an3}The French audience
just took over Beds Are Burning
1396
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,840
and sang the whole song.
The band stopped singing.
1397
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:33,800
But it was word perfect.
It was clear.
1398

I can still remember
the feeling.
1401
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,480
I get a little bit tingly now
thinking about it.

JIM: Well,
when the band finished it
was a bit of a shock.
1407
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,200
It was a struggle in some ways
to adjust to the real world
1408
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:13,880
because I think being
in the band it is like,
1409
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,120
a bit like adolescence
or childhood.
1410
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,080
When the band ends,
that is when you
actually have to grow up.
1411
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:21,440
Because people are telling
you where to go
1412
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:22,520
and they are giving you
the passports
1413
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,920
and they are giving you
the food, the hotel,
1414
01:22:25,480 --> 01:22:26,720
but after that ends
1415
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,960

there was a sense

that we would go
round in circles
1420
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,440
if at least I didn't break out
and do something else,
1421
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,720
and I think everybody
had thought about it
at one point or another,
1422
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,280

that was actually
why we survived
1426

for all that time
was we did take breaks
from each other.
