	Lessons of Peter Garrett's evolution: from radical activist to Australian Labor politician
		Garrett declared when he joined Labor that it was the “primary party of reform.” Taken at his word, this amounts to Garrett’s open endorsement of the measures carried out by the Hawke and Keating Labor governments from 1983 to 1996.
		Garrett’s response to militarism was shaped by his acceptance of the political and economic framework of capitalism.
		Whatever their intentions, those like Garrett who rejected a struggle against capitalism and Stalinism as “unrealistic” contributed to creating the political conditions of the last decade-and-a-half, during which the international working class has faced a constant assault on its living standards, along with the global eruption of US military aggression.

		PETER GARRETT: Well, when ACF and the other groups put that to the Government and the Labor Party and others, it did it on the basis that they felt that this was an essential part of any package to deliver down in Tasmania, and you know, that's the conservation sort of, claim.
		PETER GARRETT: Well I think what's happened is that the period when I've gone onto the silent roll or thought I had, probably comes from that '94 period on, when it looks like I've dropped off.

		Peter Garrett was lead Senate candidate for the Nuclear Disarmament Party in New South Wales during the 1984 Federal Election.
		Peter Garrett and the Nuclear Disarmament Party opposed every Western initiative to force the former Soviet Union to bargain on the removal of its intermediate range SS-18 and SS-20 nuclear missiles from Europe.
		If the West had heeded Peter Garrett instead of Ronald Reagan in the mid-1980s, Central and Eastern Europe would probably still be dominated by the Soviet Union and the gulag archipelago would still be in business.
