There's often this revisionist history about things as well. Labor wouldn't negotiate with the Greens over the original ETS, and the Greens get blamed for it not passing. Only a few years later they work together and make a better policy (the carbon price). Abbott comes in and tears it up. Current Labor supporters either conveniently forget this ever happened, or they somehow argue that Abbott would have teared up the carbon price but not the ETS.
