436 MR LEANE —To move — That this House notes — (1) that in an article in the Weekly Times on 18 March 2009, the then President of the Victorian Farmers Federation, Mr Simon Ramsay, indicated the previous Government’s net 60 cents per kilowatt-hour premier feed-in tariff was not good enough for farmers in Victoria to invest in solar technology; (2) that in the same article, Mr Ramsay argued the premium 60 cents per kilowatt-hour feed-in tariff should have been a gross tariff rather than a net tariff, and that companies, farmers and individuals who invest in solar panels should be paid for every unit of power produced, even if they use it themselves, to provide incentives to install solar panels to power their own energy needs; (3) the current silence of Mr Ramsay and other members of the Baillieu Government in not protesting to the Minister for Energy and Resources the savage cut to the solar feed-in tariffs, which will reduce the rate to 8 cents per kilowatt-hour at the start of 2013; and (4) that Mr Ramsay and his Government colleagues have turned their backs on the Victorian solar industry and Victorian farmers who hoped to reduce their power costs by investing in solar technology.
