Land Agent Underquoting

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:33): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Treasurer, representing the Attorney-General, a question regarding agents underquoting.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: Reforms were introduced in 2007 to penalise land agents advertising properties at prices lower than expected. I understand that further reforms in this area came into effect from 2014. My questions to the Attorney-General are: how many complaints have Consumer and Business Services received about underquoting since 2014, and how many of these complaints have been substantiated?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:33): I will refer the honourable member's question to the Attorney-General and bring back a reply.
