{"aliases":[],"awards":[],"biography_summary":"Kim John Carr (born 2 July 1955) is an Australian former politician who served as a Senator for Victoria between 1993 and 2022. Representing the Labor Party, he was a minister in the Rudd and Gillard governments. Carr is a graduate of the University of Melbourne, and before entering politics worked as a schoolteacher and political staffer. He was appointed to the Senate in 1993, filling a casual vacancy, and was made a member of the shadow ministry after Labor's defeat at the 1996 election. Carr held a variety of portfolios in the Labor governments between 2007 and 2013. He was considered a leader of the Labor Left faction in Victoria until 2016 when he formed the Industrial Left, a breakaway mini-faction comprising nearly all of Carr's union allies. He became the most senior senator and thus father of the senate in 2019, retaining the title until his retirement in 2022.","birth_date":"1955-07-02","birth_place":"Tumut","birth_place_coordinates":{"latitude":-35.303889,"longitude":148.223333},"birth_place_wikidata_id":"Q1025607","birth_place_wikidata_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1025607","canonical_name":"Kim Carr","canonical_url":"https://zh-cn.instaget.online/people/3bed66f09c4aa1246e1498eb","citizenships":["Australia"],"death_date":null,"description":"Australian politician","external_ids":{},"full_name":"Kim Carr","height_cm":null,"names":{"aliases":["Kim John Carr"],"birth":[],"native":[],"official":[]},"native_name":null,"notable_works":[],"occupations":["politician","teacher"],"official_websites":[],"photo":{"author":"Commonwealth of Australia (AUSPIC)","license":"CC BY 2.5","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/","source":"Wikimedia Commons","source_url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:080040_-_015_Sen_Kim_Carr_24_Jan_08.jpg","url":"https://instaget-public-commons.tor1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/public/commons/ef9636e9061ece73aa00932af5f8bce743fe16f00e1273454776a0b5eb856ee2"},"profile_url":"https://zh-cn.instaget.online/people/3bed66f09c4aa1246e1498eb","provenance":{"catalog":"wikidata_wikipedia","fetched_at":"2026-08-29T06:02:02Z","social_archives_included":false,"source_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1639334"},"public_hash":"3bed66f09c4aa1246e1498eb","schema_version":"1.1","socials":{"twitter":{"handle":"SenKimCarr","url":"https://x.com/SenKimCarr"}},"tags":[{"key":"category:politics-and-public-service","label":"Politics and public service","type":"category"},{"key":"occupation:politician","label":"politician","type":"occupation"},{"key":"occupation:teacher","label":"teacher","type":"occupation"},{"key":"country:tumut","label":"Tumut","type":"country"},{"key":"citizenship:australia","label":"Australia","type":"citizenship"}],"wikidata_id":"Q1639334","wikidata_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1639334","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Carr"}
