FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Bob Carr’s love of US Civil War history doesn’t make him qualified to be Australia’s next foreign minister, a senior federal opposition frontbencher says.
The former NSW premier will sworn in next week, after he occupies a Senate vacancy.
But senior coalition frontbencher Christopher Pyne says Mr Carr lacks the credentials to be foreign minister, despite his association with US-Australia foreign policy think tanks.
“He has no foreign policy experience and reading a book on the US Civil War at rugby doesn’t mean that you’re a smart guy, it means you like reading US history,” Mr Pyne told ABC Television on Friday night.
Mr Carr is a member of the US Studies Centre Board of Directors and has served as an honorary scholar of the Australian American Leadership Dialogue.
He was also a member of the International Task Force on Climate Change convened by former British prime minister Tony Blair.
However, Mr Pyne said it was hypocritical of Mr Carr to be drafted into a casual Senate vacancy when he had co-drafted a report into Labor’s 2010 dire election campaign, which recommended giving more power to the party’s rank and file.
“He’s just allowed himself to be shoehorned into the Senate and shoehorned into the foreign ministry over everybody else who might have wanted that role, including Warren Mundine,” he said.
