Run For Your Life

Instructed by then ALP National Secretary Stephen Loosley to read the sports pages for an hour each week, Bob Carr reflected, “If this was the price of political success, it was too high”. Never a standard politician, like Diary of a Foreign Minister before it, Bob’s Run for Your Life is no standard political memoir. Candid, witty and full of wildly entertaining anecdotes, it is the welcome next instalment of Bob’s political writings.

Chair: Dave Penberthy
