Valuer-General

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:59): My question is to the Treasurer, representing the Attorney-General, a question regarding valuation objections. Will the minister ask the Valuer-General when they disallow an objection they include in their letter of disallowance that the valuation is considered fair and reasonable having regard to sales of comparable properties but they are only prepared to provide that sales evidence when it refers to residential properties but no other land uses such as vacant land, commercial or industrial properties, thus discontinuing a long-held practice since 1971?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:59): I am happy to refer the honourable member's question to the minister and bring back a reply or provide a reply.
