Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Valuer-General Valuer-General The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Valuer-General The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:46): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Treasurer, representing the Attorney-General, a question about a valuation policy backflip by the Valuer-General. Leave granted. The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: In 2014, the Valuer-General implemented a valuation policy which gave a benefit to dryland farming properties in the peri-urban areas of the state. The current Valuer-General recently revised this policy and reversed the benefit so that housing developments, commercial developments and vineyards now receive the benefit. Grain Producers SA, Livestock SA and crop science groups have expressed concerns to the Valuer-General about this backflip, without any success. My question therefore is: can the Attorney-General ask the Valuer-General to provide an explanation for this ridiculous backflip? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:47): I am pleased to refer the honourable member's question to the Attorney-General and bring back a reply.
