Bob Carr Quits
Just heard on the radio. Bob Carr is about to announce his resignation.

What did he finally count the hospital waiting list and notice that there longed than when he was elected.
Took him long enough to keep his word.

Mr Carr said it was only last weekend that he and his wife had really contemplated him leaving politics.
He said he wanted to spend more time with her, enjoying the beauty of Sydney and "more recreation"."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

"one ABC analyst said it was because they decided labour could not win again with bob carr as leader "
so bob goes and takes all the blame with him , the unthinking mass say everything will be ok now carr's gone, labour gets back in and all stays the same or gets worse
