Tony Abbott revives anti-carbon tax campaign as Labor recommits to ETS

Prime minister quickly seizes on leaked ALP options paper, saying Labor wants 'to reintroduce not just a carbon tax but a triple-whammy carbon tax'

Tony Abbott has revived his anti-carbon tax campaign after the Labor party recommitted to take an emissions trading scheme (ETS) to the next federal election.

While the Labor party has previously indicated it would draw up an election policy that included an ETS, the leak of an internal options paper to the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday revived the politically fraught debate about climate action.
