	Bob Carr on the US :: Sunday Profile
		Bob Carr: No. There’s a bitterness about public debate and the reasons are: first, the close outcome in 2000 and the sense the Democrats were cheated of their rightful victory.
		Bob Carr: Well I think he’ll be leaving it to his foreign minister to implement this policy and I think he would accept that it’s a major challenge.
		Bob Carr: I think a criticism of this policy, which looks worse by the day, the policy of military intervention in Iraq before there was broad agreement with the international community and before all the possibilities of containment had been exhausted.

	The Australian: Bob Carr sparkles at US themed hour [ 01jun06 ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Carr described the US as not so much a democracy but, by Australian standards, an approximation of a democracy.
		Carr used the 2000 US presidential election, which propelled George W. Bush into the White House, as an example of the system gone awry, with the wrong candidate ending up victorious because of the contentious vote count.
		It was Bush who was in Carr's firing line and, interestingly, it was the former premier rather than the American visitor who brought substance to the argument.

	Bob Carr supports Federal Government on Telstra
		Labor's most senior politician, NSW Premier Bob Carr has blindsided Simon Crean on Telstra by agreeing with the Federal Government that Telstra could be sold once services in regional Australia are up to scratch.
		Mr Carr's comments effectively mirror the Coalition's federal election policy which makes clear that the Government will not proceed with any further sale of Telstra until it is fully satisfied that arrangements are in place to deliver adequate telecommunications services to all Australians.
		The Australian public well remembers that it was Bob Carr through John Della Bosca who told Mr Crean that his GST rollback policy should be ditched - and in the end it was.

	ARPA: Intelligence from the Big Choko
		Bob Carr, the 39th premier of New South Wales, is remarkably adept at confounding prophets and critics.
		The sceptical reception awaiting any politician who dares criticise the media in a memoir was demonstrated very clearly in the hostile coverage of Cheryl Kernot’s (2002) attempt to explain her experience of Labor politics in the period 1997–2001.
		Carr’s most severe attacks on political opponents are directed towards the policies of the Federal Coalition Government, in particular in the areas of Aboriginal reconciliation and industrial relations during the waterfront dispute of 1998.

	Book review: Bob Carr for Canberra: the revenge of the ALP nerd - On Line Opinion - 15/10/2003
		The "Carr for Canberra" speculation that was used to publicise Andrew West and Rachel Morris's biography of Bob Carr was, as the authors' account clearly indicates, kicked off by the NSW Right.
		Carr's advancement as a professional politician depended on the NSW Right but he was not in the inner circle and sometimes it showed.
		Carr's stance on the environment appeals to middle-class voters whose support can be added to a working-class base which Carr has consolidated by pushing the right law-and-order buttons during eight years in office.

		Bob Carr, the Labor Party Premier of the Australian state of New South Wales, has foreshadowed sweeping increases to police powers, under the pretext of combatting illicit drug use.

	mgk: Machine Gun Keyboard
		A number of bloggers are today accusing Bob Carr of backflipping on his refusal to accept Brogden’s apology- but there’s just cause for Carr’s public change of heart.
		Carr was a bit generous with Brogden today when he said, "The world accepts that all of us make mistakes and he’s got a big future as a politician, a member of this community and as a father of his son, Flinders." I very seriously doubt Brogden has a future as a politician.
		The Carrs’ statement today is all the more generous when you consider that it was an ex-Brogden staffer who was charged with threatening life and property, conveying false information and two counts of public mischief after Carr received threats last April which set in motion a full security response in the NSW Parliament.

		The apparent attempted suicide of a Australian politician at the centre of a media storm after making racist and sexist comments has caused huge controversy.
		He resigned on Monday after he was exposed for making sexist and racist comments to a group of journalists last month, including calling Helena Carr, the wife of former NSW premier and Brogden's political nemesis Bob Carr, a "mail order bride".

	Australian Labor Party: Tribute To Bob Carr
		At a time when national politics has fallen to a low ebb, when all values are asserted to have a dollar equivalent, when trust in public institutions and officials is under threat, the ALP celebrates the achievements of Bob Carr, both as politician and reflective public intellectual.
		He recognised that the role of a leader is to lead, not to follow, not to jump, like one of Pavlov's dogs, to what spin doctors tell him, or her, about what focus groups are saying.
		Gough Whitlam put it well when he quoted Paul Hasluck's words on John Curtin as being equally appropriate to Bob Carr: 'There was no better man in the public life of Australia in his time'.

	On Political Scandals - Australian Style
		The theory is that the private behaviour and character of political leaders is a completely legitimate subject for intense media scrutiny, on the grounds that how a political leader behaves in private is a clear indication of how they are likely to lead in public.
		Those who uphold the legitimacy of media scrutiny on public figures are faced with the reality of pictures of a fallen politician being carted off to hospital in the early hours of this morning.
		Rumours of political sabotage are abound, amidst all the back peddling from high profile politicians and commentators who were lambasting Brogden yesterday for his "outrageous" behaviour and lamenting the sad situation today.

		He is a proven and repeat winner in the nation's largest state and perhaps the only Australian politician with a claim to be as shrewd and effective a tactician and strategist as John Howard.
		The problem, which looks insurmountable, is that he is not in the field, and is reportedly adamant that he will not enter it.
		Even assuming some Labor hack could be persuaded to surrender a safe federal seat to enable Carr to stand for the House of Representatives in a byelection, Howard (mindful of what happened to Malcolm Fraser when Bob Hawke replaced Bill Hayden in 1983) could pre-empt the gambit by opting for a quick double dissolution election.
