A man who was passionate about singing and suddenly turned towards the betterment of the society, Peter Garrett’s life has thus been an interesting journey. Perhaps being well-acquainted with Arts and Law since his student days is one of the great reasons behind his equal interest in both music as well as politics. His association with the band ‘Midnight Oil’ helped the ordinary Peter rise to the ranks of being one of the most popular and influential people of his nation. A few years later, the vocalist started realizing the seriousness of the environmental hazards plaguing our world and decided to do his bit to save nature. He then became a part of non-governmental organizations like ‘Green Peace’ and a couple of others to achieve this objective. However, Garrett soon turned towards mainstream politics and was criticized by many for the policies he introduced as a minister. The ‘Midnight Oil’ singer has been honoured by several institutions and even the Government of France for his great contribution towards making our environment better. Currently, Garrett’s focus is to improve the quality of education in his country and also improve the literacy rate of the country to the best extent possible.
