The Oils are so inspiring. I wish they might tour the US again.

[@danysize]

Wonderful performance! Thanx for Sharing. - From Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@fransbuijs808]

I really like this version! I love how the crowd does the background vocals. I knew that there would be some life left in the Oils after the final tour! It didn't help the campaign very much, though.

[@LucianoFigueredo-dj5ei]

Verdade❤❤❤

[@Bobber256]

Relatively easy to sell Yes in Melbourne... but what a missed opportunity Australia-wide.

[@boston1450]

He sounds FANTASTIC

Australia has spoken time for acceptance Nowŵ

Shame to the no voters

[@eded1713]

I am one who voted no with no shame in doing so, for reasons being, mainly Aboriginal sovereignty, it's worrisome to think what government could do with taking it away, i love the oils and all Australians for that matter but oils got this one💯 % wrong, you see I'm not racist quite the opposite, generosity helps me helps you 😊

[@Kairu_Film]

Embarrasing that Australia now trails New Zealand by around 50 years, as well as Canada and the United States on indigenous rights. Well done you. Didn't think Australia would beat the Yanks to the bottom on this one.....

[@rods6405]

What so the indigenous dont want all that white people money any more!

[@antscott4922]

Who'S Land? Nothing changes.....looks good though...keep clapping me friends x

[@philbis2774]

it's amazing how Peter Garrett could still sing this song after he approved an Uranium Mine in South Australia on Aboriginal land'' & seeing him try to put First Nations People in this King Charles Constitution How bizarre 😮 Seems people get more conservative with age '' Remember this OZ don't serve your country Don't serve your king 🔴🟡⚫Sovereignty has never been ceded​​ "

[@venomau5speedz]

The prime minister really could have explained the voice in greater terms. Most people I knew voting No only voted no out of fear of not knowing what was in writing 📝 for The Voice exactly. They were all for Indigenous People Rights but not at the expense of everyone else etc. A massive expensive screw up by the government. 🤦‍♂️

Peter Garrett is fire

[@kimbaldunsmore4633]

l was so ashamed as a (half Kiwi) Australian when the Australian people rejected a modest but progressive change to our political discourse in this country. The Voice from the Heart was an invitation and an open hand by black nations for white fellas to come closer to walking together. lnstead us white fellas slapped the hand away. Disgusting. l might just go and live in my other home, New Zealand, where there is a treaty and proper respect for first nations sisters and brothers. l just can't believe that this referendum failed

[@WhateverWhenever888]

Good! Don’t like it then leave. Also no, that’s not why the yes vote lost. Do more research on what it really was

There is little culture, no buildings, no monuments no songs no music.......Look at Egypt, the Aztecs etc., 65.000 years and nothing except 'dreaming' even dot painting was introduced by Geoffrey Barton a European, Alice Springs 1971 Garret get real

[@glennmorrissey2529]

Good on you David, but people won't accept reality on this topic. 40,000 years and invented a stick.

[@martinyant8653]

Irrelevant

[@jasonpayne1460]

Yep. Look at the progress your civilisation has made. The current generation eating laundry detergent for likes.

[@glennmorrissey2529]

Pete, go away and do something else mate, your best album/s are behind you that being "Head Injuries", your work in parliament not really producing anything, your singing, well, if people are honest was never really that good, in fact, probably very very ordinary at best but you had great players behind you. Time to move on Pete, the referendum for the "Yes" vote did not succeed yet the people on that side of the fence will not accept the result. How about we have continuous referendums on the matter until you get a majority "Yes" vote, will you be happy then?

[@stuartgraham8946]

@glennmorrissey So true 👍💯

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Yeah,to think I once loved midnight oil.But Garrett ex.labor.Why don't we give it back blah,blah .Lost me.

[@eded1713]

All right let's begin ,I am ready let's begin, sell my soul to him, I could pick out hundreds of oils lyrics and wonder how I didn't realise how hypocritical they really are, I mean I could literally go forever , Who can stand in the way when there a dollar to be made

[@jasonpayne1460]

So there's a time limit on your beliefs and convictions? Interesting.

[@glennmorrissey2529]

Not on mine, poor old Pete was always a shithouse singer and responsible for the pink batts fiasco which resulted in a number of deaths of ill trained young men.
