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.

With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”

“Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
