The man they call an Aussie rock legend and arguably one of the most liked former MPs is back.
We're talking of course about Peter Garrett - the former Education Minister and frontman for rock band Midnight Oil.
The band first began in 1972, took a hiatus between 2002 and 2016 and then came back with a vengeance.
It's been nearly 20 years since their last full length studio release but their latest stint in the studio has resulted in a new album called Resist.
And they'll be giving us all their new music with shows in New Zealand in May as part of their last ever tour.
Peter Garrett joined Mike Hosking.
