Diary Of A Foreign Minister by Bob Carr (FM under the Gillard Labor Government)
There's no such thing, apparently, as bad publicity. Judging however from media comments, the publicity surrounding Mr Carr's new book, has caused a bit of a stir in the Jewish community as well as animosity in the Press and from former colleagues who feel that Carr has "lost the plot". Carr is critical of almost anybody who comes near enough to dent his ego and accuses the Melbourne Jewish lobby of too much influence on the government of the day under Prime Minister Gillard,
As reported in
The Chronicle
"Mr Carr discusses the best choices for ties
- Hermes and Bulgari - and compares flying business class to travelling in the
"trans-Atlantic slave trade".
Mr Carr also writes ""I am Foreign Minister… I soar above the mundane and serve my country."
Way to go,Bob.
