On May 15 2008 Christine introduced a Private Member's Bill in the Senate to establish a comprehensive national Feed-in law.

Feed-in laws support the rapid and unlimited growth of the renewables sector by giving certainty to investors, guaranteeing them a market at a set price. This feed-in differs from others proposed or legislated in Australia thus far in several important ways:

• it is national in scope, effectively over-riding the various different state and territory schemes;
• it covers the full range of renewable energy technologies, instead of limiting itself to solar PV; 
• it pays generators for all the power they generate, instead of net power for rooftop solar on households; and 
• it leaves the price guarantees, specifically targeted for each technology, out of the legislation itself, giving flexibility to the regulators to pull appropriate levers, giving extra support where necessary and reducing it where technologies are maturing.
