thank you for that lovely little bit of nationalistic stereotyping. if you would care to investigate before spouting off self-righteous bullshit, you would have found that Midnight Oil has made multiple efforts with multiple tribes of indigenous people to right the wrongs perpetrated on them. they have multiple NONPROFIT tours of the bushland to get a feel for the plight of the Aborigines and gave donated significantly to legal action against the abuse of Aboriginal land rights. hell, you don't even have to know all that to not be "skeptical"--just look at the remainder of the Deisel and Dust album. the entire thing is committed specifically to the issues facing the indigenous peoples of Australia.
sigh i dunno. i'm just pissed because i'm an oiler to the core. any other band and i might be inclined to agree with you. but Midnight Oil wasn't--isn't--any other band. that's the reason i'm an oiler even now.
