<P>This is from a media doorstop at Parliament House this morning with Simon Crean, Australian Opposition Leader. Check out the last line.</P>
<P>Can anyone imagine Little Johnny listening to Head Injuries?</P>
<P>JOURNALIST: Can I ask you - Peter Garrett has left Midnight Oil. Would he be welcome into the Labor Party at any stage? </P>
<P>CREAN: Oils ain’t oils anymore. So it is a sad day, but Peter Garrett, of course, I think would be welcome to any cause that we know he holds so passionately. I don’t know what his political ambitions are, quite frankly. I have not spoken about this with him. I have spoken to him on many occasions over the years, and particularly since I have been Leader, on a lot of matters associated with the environment - because I genuinely believe that we don’t just have to be a strong economy, we have to be a sustainable one. And I welcome his advice in that direction and I will continue to seek it. He has an important role as chairman of the ACF and I will continue to talk to him. I will just have to listen to the old tracks if he is not producing any more. </P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Tired of spam?
