They may have different reasons than we do, but Labor people are coming out against the tax that Julia said we woudn't have. I suppose that Julia would be the first Labor person against the tax and Wayne "hysterical" Swan was the second. Then there was Morris Iemma:

Former NSW premier Morris Iemma has questioned the environmental benefits and economic cost of the scheme, saying the Government had adopted a policy that was part of the Greens' agenda of "anti-growth and anti-investment".
