Don't think the shadow would get it right either. Government now is all about revenue.
Although as the number of solar installation goes up the less it will get. The main thing that is considered to be viable for the tariff is the interface cost. Which I believe is around $500.00 the rest of the installation primary benefit is mostly for the home. So it will get to the stage when installation will forget the feed in device.
[Edit] - There will be more low voltage home installation done DIY though.

Although I believe cutting subsidies is design to introduce green power providers into WA, Currently WA is the only state in Australia that is in power monopoly at the moment and consumers are ask to pay extra 7c KW/hr for the federal government greenpower initiative.

Most really low income people live in rental properties anyway and solar power has in most no benefit as agents/owners are not required to pay the electricity.
