Hilarious! Penny Wong fails to name a single supporter of the ETS

That's because there aren't any, clearly:

Federal Climate Change Minister Penny Wong has been unable to name a single supporter of her government's embattled Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

This prompted the opposition to claim the scheme would "wander the corridors of Parliament looking in vain for a friend".

Senator Wong struggled to answer a reporter in Sydney who asked her to name any supporter of the scheme outside her own party.

"This is a reform that was a commitment of the Rudd Labor government, made prior to our election," was her response.

Too funny! Read it here.

That was the rushed first draft at the Herald.

The factual one.

It was later tidied up and now fits the Fairfax narrative.
