Slightly disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While the Labor Party would likely acknowledge the benefits of stock buybacks for pension funds and mutual funds, this would not necessarily preclude them from supporting a tax on such buybacks. The party's stance would likely depend on the specific policy details and potential impacts.
