While some of his music hasn’t been to my taste, I’ve always considered Peter Garrett a man of the utmost integrity. Until now.
FORMER Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett has revealed he was not enrolled to vote for 10 years until he was parachuted into a safe ALP seat, but opted to keep the truth under wraps until after the federal election.
His admission follows an investigation by the Australian Electoral Commission, the results of which he received just 11 days after the issue flared in June – but he chose not to reveal because “nobody asked”.
The above is a snippet from this article which I found at news.com.au.
It is rather dissapointing, especially considering that he had a different excuse for his non-appearance on the electoral roll before the election.
Mr Garrett has previously explained that he voted at every election believing he was listed on a silent roll reserved for celebrities.
I only hope that he can now put it all behind him and get on with the job of working for his electorate.

Hmmm. I’ve always been a fan of Peter Garrett. Its so dissapointing when your ‘heroes’ fall. But, I guess no one is without sin. Lets hope this is reflected in his outlook…”US Forces gave a nod…its a setback for your country” 🙂
Oh well, he was embrassed. So what!
