Hon. Bob Carr
The
Honourable John Robertson and Senator Sam Dastyari would like to invite you to
an exclusive event to celebrate THE BRILLIANT CARR ERA.
This special evening will celebrate the
career and achievements of Bob Carr, including 40 years of service to the ALP,
serving as the longest NSW Premier, and his success as a popular Foreign Affairs
Minister (especially in light of his pro-Palestine stance which he moved a
motion for at the recent NSW ALP State Conference ).
Bob Carr was well known
for his involvement in interfaith initiatives and genuine efforts in engaging
with ethnic communities. He had a special interest and relationship with the
Muslim communities, having attended Lakemba Mosque in Ramadan for the last two
decades. When he was Premier, as well as Minister for Citizenship, in 2004 he
initiated the first ever Iftar to be held at NSW Parliament House (one of the
first to be held in any Parliament in Australia). Last July he was Chief Guest
at an Iftar marking ten years since he started the tradition of celebrating and
breaking fast together at NSW Parliament House with politicians and various
community leaders.
Again at this event, there will also be many other Federal and State MP's
attending and we hope to have as many Pakistani, subcontinent and ethnic
community leaders attend this special tribute to a great man.
