Former foreign minister Bob Carr has hit back at claims he was lazy in the job saying he was entirely committed to working around the clock. Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard made the eyebrow raising comments while talking to channel nine journalist Ray Martin in an interview which is set to be aired Tuesday night. Martin told Triple M's 'The Grill Team', Ms Gillard unloaded on the former foreign affairs minister and she said that it was a mistake to appoint Bob Carr and when he got there he was 'lazy'. 'She certainly makes it clear that he didn't like hard work,' said Martin.
