About the Book

Senator Kim Carr is a true believer. He details what the Party stands for in the 21st century. 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. 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." A Letter to Generation Next: Why Labor is part of that commitment.
