“What we really wanted to do was give attention to bands who might not have made a single, who might not be played by commercial radio, they weren't successful, but they were writing successful songs," says founding presenter Chris Winter. "It's hard to believe now but Mental As Anything and Midnight Oil were two such bands. Many bands weren't ever gonna get heard on commercial radio if they weren't mimicking the sounds of overseas, they weren't particularly capable of fitting into a format," — #MidnightOil, #PeterGarrett

Australian acts front and centre, everyone else in “overseas slop” slots. Whats the point of a national #broadcaster highlighting ForeignContent before our own #homegrown? In an interconnected world you can tune into foreign music. Where do you tune in for Australian acts?

Arrests made as #RisingTide #ClimateChange protesters take to #Newcastle Harbour over #coal exports

"'I strongly support the peaceful protest that's planned here. Consider what the scientists are telling us, look at the agreements we're trying to forge internationally and understand that this is one of the most defining issues of our time." -- #PeterGarrett, #MidnightOil frontman and former environment minister.

#australianstory with #petergarrett is quite the time travel

Well they were pretty darned good. We were only 4 rows back, in the middle. Garrett's voice isn't what it was (he's nearly 71) but he's still got the moves. New album out tomorrow, it's good! And of course the old Oils faves brought the house down. I was a bit worried about him looking very out of breath though. Martin was in top form (met him once in my nursing capacity, delightful!). Sad little old Canberra Theatre only half full... what's wrong with you Canberra?! #PeterGarrett #MartinRotsey

Sounds terrible. Like a failure of govt to allocate #energy.

Reminds us of the 2009 #PinkBats "Scandal" in #Australia. Our PM #KevinRudd and #PeterGarrett funded as many #builders as possible to install #insulation. It was an incredibly successful #InsulationScheme but #corporateMedia only blame Rudd for the few bad builders that abused the funding, resulting in two worker deaths and some fires.

Aussies save 30% on energy but media focus on bad apples.

To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?"
