peter garret is minister for environment but he's not allowed to speak of the environment because he's a bit dim.

He's not dim, he's just inexperienced. The previous Labor leader gave him a shadow portfolio to build the party's credentials.
Garrett's big problem is that he sent decades protesting against pulp mills, damming projects, etc., yet as a politician he's had to compromise all over the place. Every politician has to compromise, but no other has had the public exposure Garrett has had. He just looks like a giant hypocrite now.

She did actually make an album which, in my opinion, was better than anything PWEI ever put out.
