By 1986, the band had addressed many of the most important issues of the century, including the arms race, the danger of nuclear conflict, and the environment.

Midnight Oil is currently on tour with their latest album, Earth And Sun And Moon. The album's first official release, "Truganini," is about a tragic historical figure, who by 1873, was the sole surviving Tasmanian Aborigine in Australia.
