Carr says left faction was infested with Communists

Bob Carr says what we already knew. The Labor Party left faction was infested with communists.

"As a teenage Whitlam-ite I sat in the gallery of Sydney Town Hall and watched factional debates at the annual state ALP conference. I now know, courtesy of this book, the Left leaders carried Communist Party tickets. Their real loyalty was to the CPA, a party still loyal to Moscow."

Ms Gillard claims her membership of 'Socialist Forum' at Melbourne University was simply young, naive idealism, but she later joined the socialist left faction of the Labor Party, the very faction which Bob Carr says was infested with communists.
