This is such a strange thing to require someone to know, especially when she doesn’t deal with Maori land, and all sale is the same legally regardless of the ethnicity of the buyer. And the justification given for making this mandatory is incredibly tenuous, in my view.

    This is not law.

    This is a mandatory course directed from the REAA:

    In 2023 the Real Estate Agents Authority directed all real estate agents to undertake a course called Te Kākano - which was designed in partnership with Whakatāne-based tertiary institute Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

      It’s actually no longer mandatory, according to other articles I’ve read since, it would be interesting to know their reasoning for the change.
