Peter Garrett is one of the world's most iconic and recognisable musicians and activists, and is also the former federal environment minister and education minister.

For twenty five years he fronted Midnight Oil, one of this country's most powerful, outspoken, noisy, sweaty and thought-provoking bands. Their musical career intertwined with activism from the very beginning, they made great music you could dance your ass off to - and within this music was a powerful message. Not an acoustic guitar jangly nasal protesty message either - but a powerful, masculine, almost warrior-like strength that spoke against injustice and inequality.

You'll hear through this chat that I reference my own experiences with Midnight Oil, because like many Australians of my generation and the one above me - they were inescapable. Peter has written a memoir called Big Blue Sky, which is out now all around the world wherever you buy your books.

Now, about the audio quality. Peter wanted to meet in a cafe in Paddington on a Saturday morning - so through the chat you'll hear the sounds of a cafe, the espresso machine firing up, the sirens, the music, the hubbub of that part of Sydney on a bust weekend.

So with that in mind, I'd like you to join me for a cup of coffee at a very small table with the extraordinarily engaging, charismatic, intelligent and passionate Peter Garrett.

Montaigne is a singer/songwriter/performer from Sydney, Australia - her new single "Now (In Space)" is out now, details at montaignemusic.com.au

We met on Twitter after she tagged me in a photo that she took of an old notebook full of "I love Matt Corby" signs she and her school friend had held up in a live audience at Australian Idol about 15 years ago. 

That she now has a job where she's a performer is so wonderful to see. 

She came around to my house one morning last week, and filled the room with a powerful and loving energy - she's a really special human. 

Even if you're not a music head or like other kinds of music, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this chat - we cover what it means to redefine yourself through your appearance, struggles with parents around her sexuality, and what it is to make music for a living. 

I hope you get as much of a buzz out of listening to this as I did recording it. 

Enjoy this conversation with Montaigne.
