THE Federal Government has offered to work with Indonesia in monitoring the oil leak from the West Atlas rig in the Timor Sea, while continuing to say it has had no "significant" impact on wildlife.

Environment Minister Peter Garrett today again defended the government's measures following the spill at PTTEP Australia's Montara well-head platform, more than 200km off the Kimberley coast, in August.

Mr Garrett said government monitoring over the six weeks since the leak showed it had caused ``no significant impacts on the wildlife'' and local environment

Can you believe this guy. Isn't he suppose to be a greenie? Throw him in the water and see if it has no "significant" impact on wildlife. If this happened off the coast at Bondi it would have been fixed the same day!!!!!!

Finally getting some press:

Peter Garrett is a hypocrite,if he was still a greenie I bet he would be pushing very hard for the Government to de more !!

It Seems to me that Peter "I'm a sell out bastard" Garrett was a Muppet (no offence Elmo) for four other blokes who had something to say in the 80's and 90's and now he is a Muppet for a government that aint quite as sweet as they make out, to say the least. Its a shame what politics has done to him, that one statement just makes a million oil fans want hang their heads and weep!!

No significant impact my arse!
