Garrett says he has changed his mind
Labor frontbencher Peter Garrett has defended his change of heart on US military bases, saying he accepted the ALP's policy when he joined the party almost three years ago.
The former Midnight Oil frontman, who protested against the Pine Gap installation in the 1980s and called for the US military to be evicted, on Thursday dodged questions about a new unmanned military communications base to be built near Geraldton in Western Australia.
But on Friday he gave it his support.
