Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Parliamentary Committees Select Committee on Certain Matters Relating to the Operations of the Office of the Valuer-General Select Committee on Certain Matters relating to the Operations of the Office of the Valuer-General Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. J.A. Darley: That the report of the select committee be noted. (Continued from 17 November 2021.) The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (21:50): I rise to speak very briefly to this particular motion. I acknowledge the report and the work of the members of the committee but I also acknowledge the active participation of the Hon. Mr Darley in all matters that relate to the operation of the Office of the Valuer-General. Speaking on behalf of the government, we note the recommendations. There are a couple of the recommendations that a member of the committee has basically referred to the government in terms of what the impacts might be, and certainly that would be my view as well. They are quite technical issues. I am sure the Hon. Mr Darley understands the details of the recommendations in terms of the amendments to the legislation. From the government's viewpoint, we would be keen to seek advice as to what the implications, if any, might be of those particular changes. Certainly, from the government's viewpoint, we would undertake to do so. With those brief words, I thank the Hon. Mr Darley and the other members of the committee for their report and advice. The government will give the recommendations close consideration. The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (21:52): First of all, I would like to thank the Hon. Rob Lucas and the Hon. Frank Pangallo for their contributions. Once again, I would like to thank the members who participated in that committee—the Hon. Ian Hunter, the Hon. Terry Stephens and the Hon. Frank Pangallo—and the staff, Peter Dimopoulos and Dr Kylie Doyle. I commend the noting of the report. Motion carried.
