Rock star, activist, role model, politician – Peter Garrett is known for more than his signature dance moves.

Garrett has always been vocal about his passions. As frontman for the band Midnight Oil, he put progressive issues on the national agenda, drawing mainstream attention to the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as the environment. He has been a Minister in two Labor governments, fought against Japanese whaling, received an Order of Australia and won 11 ARIA awards. But the constants throughout Garrett’s varied, high-profile career have been his love for his family, his passion for his country and a drive to make Australia a better place.

On Thursday 15 October, join Peter as he speaks candidly with Shaun Carney about music, politics, creativity, social justice, and life in the public eye.
