In reply to the Hon. J.A. DARLEY (16 February 2021).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has provided the following response:

The Attorney-General respects the independence of the office of the Valuer-General and the Valuer-General's decision to not personally meet with the honourable member. This follows advice given to the Hon. John Darley MLC by the Valuer-General previously and expanded upon at Budget and Finance Committee.

The Hon. John Darley MLC is invited to put his concerns in writing, noting that the Valuer-General has responded to a number of requests by the Hon. John Darley MLC to meet regarding this topic, inviting him to raise specific matters in writing. To date, that invitation has not been taken up.

We also note a subsequent question raised 2 March 2021 relating to this topic. The Valuer-General has also previously addressed this matter in the aforementioned responses.
