FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Foreign Minister Bob Carr has taken a swipe at federal government chief whip Joel Fitzgibbon for recently renewing leadership tension within the Australian Labor Party.
Last week Mr Fitzgibbon, a supporter of former prime minister Kevin Rudd, told ABC Television that if leaders stayed unpopular for long enough, they would inevitably stop leading the party.
Senator Carr said there was always a person in a large group such as the Labor Party or the coalition who was “agitating for a leadership change”.
“There will be people in a caucus, by definition, aggrieved or at odds,” Senator Carr told ABC Television on Wednesday.
“If Joel wants to cast himself in that role that’s fine, there is a place in parliament for people who occupy that position.”
Speculation mounts about Ms Gillard’s time as leader as the federal Labor Party’s standing in opinion polls remain in electoral wipeout territory.
Mr Fitzgibbon supported Ms Gillard in the last ALP leadership ballot in late February but he is said to have switched his backing to Mr Rudd.
The foreign minister said changing the party’s leaders regularly was viewed unfavourably by voters.
Senator Carr stood down after 10 years as NSW premier in 2005, and he subsequently observed the damage as his state party had three leaders in the last three years before the ALP’s trouncing at the 2011 election.
“It tells you that those leadership changes made under the pressure of adverse opinion polls are viewed pretty cynically by the electorate,” he said.
