Back in high school I got into the Oils after hearing '10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1' for the first time. Their following album 'Red Sails in the Sunset' cemented what became a lifelong respect for a band which, despite obvious political leanings, displayed what seemed to be a deep conviction for the issues of the time, as uncompromising as their sound was when in full flight.
Pete, I'm sure I'm not the only person who had hoped you'd make a difference when you joined that major party. It's time to pull your finger out and say what you mean dude - fuck towing the party's line. If you don't do it, who the hell else will? In two hundred years time the greatest country on the face of this planet will be nothing more than an abandoned open-cut mine site populated by fifty million unemployed bogans fighting each other over scarce water supplies. Yes, even worse than Mad Max 3. Oh, the humanity.
