Rudd is right about vitriol: Carr

FOREIGN Minister Bob Carr agrees vitriol in federal politics has to stop and that all sides have to take responsibility.

But he says the opposition started it.

Senator Carr says he agrees with former prime minister Kevin Rudd that Australians don't want to hear politicians exchanging shots in a gender war and personal attacks.

They want to hear debate on the economy, hospitals, education and infrastructure, Mr Rudd said in a wide-ranging television interview on Wednesday.

"I agree with him completely and so does the prime minister, so does Julia Gillard," Senator Carr told ABC TV's 7.30 Report.

He said the recent "distortion" in Australian politics came about because of hatred directed at Ms Gillard on the floor of parliament and from comments made by radio shock jock Alan Jones.

"No one wants more than Julia Gillard to see Australian politics move beyond that," he said.

"I think we have all got to accept responsibility but if you want to deconstruct and analyse ... behind it lies a whole battlefield of unusually vicious remarks that come from the opposition."

Meanwhile, speculation has begun to mount that Mr Rudd's interview is a sign that he is repositioning himself should the colleagues who dumped him in 2010 want him back for the next election.
