Senator Kim Carr is a true believer. In A Letter to Generation Next: Why Labor he lays out a heartfelt argument about why politics is important in our daily lives and demands our involvement. This is a book from a passionate and pragmatic idealist, which makes the case for activism and proposes that for the current generation of social democrats, the time has come to reinvigorate the Australian Labor Party.<br/>Senator Carr was the third minister to resign after Kevin Rudd declined to challenge Prime Minister Julia Gillard following former Arts Minister Simon Crean s call for a leadership spill in March 2013. At the time he said, I leave the ministry without rancour and I will continue to work for the Labor mission. <br/>A Letter to Generation Next: Why Labor is part of that commitment.
