Council of Australian Governments
According to the COAG communiqué released in November 2008 COAG agreed to a set of national principles to apply to new feed-in tariff schemes and to inform the reviews of existing schemes. These principles will promote national consistency of schemes across Australia. According to the Communique the basic principles are:
- Micro renewable generation to receive fair and reasonable value for exported energy
- Any premium rate to be jurisdictionally determined, transitional and considered for public funding
- Ministerial Council for Energy (MCE) to continue to advance fair treatment of small renewables
- FiT policy to be consistent with previous COAG agreements (particularly the Australian Energy Market Agreement)
These principles do not appear to support a gross feed in tariff as exists in Germany, but rather a net feed in tariff.

Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”

When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
