The answer to that question is no; it is not true.
Energy—feed-in tariff
MR CORBELL: During question time yesterday Ms Bresnan asked me a question about modelling undertaken in relation to the feed-in tariff for medium scale energy generation and I committed to table the advice I received from the ICRC as soon as possible.
