Not surprising though. M T originally attempted (and failed) to gain a seat with Labor. The Liberals were his second choice and you can see where his loyalty still lays (the reason for such a weak opposition during his watch?). Further, being a merchant banker, he has a personal vested interest. He stands to make a lot of money in trading the Carbon Credits so why would he oppose it.
