Bob Carr destroyed NSW, says Newman

Queensland Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman says Bob Carr, the man selected as Australia’s new foreign minister, is “the guy who destroyed NSW”.

He sidestepped a question about himself being “parachuted in” to the LNP leadership, and whether that meant the LNP had no confidence in its own MPs, by vehemently attacking Mr Carr’s record as NSW premier from 1995 to 2005.

“Bob Carr has been parachuted in and he’s the guy who gave NSW all the problems that Queensland has with Anna Bligh,” Mr Newman told reporters on Saturday.

“He bailed out (leaving) other people to deal with the consequences and to try to patch them up.

“Bob Carr was a disaster of a premier, he didn’t build anything, he didn’t build dams, he didn’t build infrastructure and he racked up debt and really crippled the state’s economy with new taxes and charges, and I don’t want that to happen to Queensland.

“He was a dud premier and it’s the same with the Labor party.”
