Peter Garrett... a new man?

I just saw last weeks Lateline "Friday Forum" - in which they interviewed Peter Garrett and Malcolm Turnbull. I was amazed at the transformation that Garrett has undergone! I remember the slightly fringe-extremist outbursts he used to have, but now he has polit-speak down to a tee. In fact, I was surpised at his deft handling of questions, with sensible, policy oriented language. It seems he has really taken to his political posting with vigour, and has broadened his outlook well beyond his previously narrow scope. Definitely one to watch within the Labor ranks.
