Hi Robert,

You may already know this, but...

ANZSES (The Australian & New Zealand Solar Energy Society) will be
preparing a comment for the ACT feed-in-tariff discussion paper:
http://www.cmd.act.gov.au/policystrategic/fit
Comments are due by Feb 25th. I'm not sure exactly how it's different
from the draft legislation, but I'll take a copy with me on holidays &
see.

Is the Zero Emissions Society likely to submit a comment? That would
be great if they did.

Hope you had a good Xmas & New Year.

Regards,

Rebecca
P.S. I will be at the coast (& off email) until Australia Day.
P.P.S. Do you have a contact for the Australian Youth Climate
Coalition in Canberra? I had Emma Kefford's details, but she's
overseas.
