Some dramatic shifts in Australian political positions on climate change policy seemed to happen over the last few days. Parliamentary enquiries into the merits of emissions trading were initiated then extinguished only to be revived by the other side of politics, and confusion reigned over who supports an emissions tax over emissions trading. Some on the left as well as the right argued that emissions trading should be ditched in favour of a carbon tax.

Inhofe Comments on Obama’s State of the Union Address | CO2sceptics

President Obama committed to the largest annual tax increase in the history of America, through the implementation of a global warming cap-and-trade system," Senator Inhofe said. "The range of the tax increase that would be brought on by this cap-and-trade legislation is somewhere between $300-$330 billion per year. As bad as the stimulus spending bill was, this would be much worse because instead of being one-time spending, the cap-and-trade tax increase would keep occurring year after year.
