I agree; I have friends whose great grandparents emigrated to New
Zealand. In the Real Estate world however a few years ago there was a
rush of Chinese university students buying buildings; presumably with >assistance from parents, and other Chinese seeking bolt holes from
Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as mainland China. That is less of an
issue now, but for estate agents in Auckland it was an important
segment of the market, and may still be. I know of a school in
Auckland where around 5% of new students had English as their language
in the home - largely languages from India as well as Chinese.
I am happy to leave such issues to local areas and the profession -
unlike the current government who want all decisions to be agreed with >Ministers.

While I agree that there has been a bit of a delay with this, the
position that Hobson's Pledge are taking is that of over-reach of a >professional body with statutory powers. This is the summary of the
planned appeal:
***
-RELIEF SOUGHT:
It is expected that the Court will be asked to determine whether:
1. The REAs CPD rules are invalid insofar as they purport to extend
the REAs powers under the Act;
2. In requiring licensees to undertake Te Kakano as a compulsory
condition of their licences, the REA has acted unlawfully,
irrationally, unreasonably and/or inconsistently with the rights to
freedom of expression and conscience guaranteed under the New Zealand
Bill of Rights Act 1990.
3. The REAs commissioning of a single supplier to provide compulsory
CPD training to all licensees is in breach of Part 2 of the Commerce
Act 1986.
4. The Registrars refusal to exempt Janet Dickson from undertaking
the Te Kakano course should be set aside.
***
So this is an issue of the REA extending its mandate by imposing
requirements on its members that are not professionally required.

matters from time to time. This was dated April 2023 - is this the

***
-RELIEF SOUGHT:
It is expected that the Court will be asked to determine whether:
1. The REAs CPD rules are invalid insofar as they purport to extend
the REAs powers under the Act;
2. In requiring licensees to undertake Te Kakano as a compulsory
condition of their licences, the REA has acted unlawfully,
irrationally, unreasonably and/or inconsistently with the rights to
freedom of expression and conscience guaranteed under the New Zealand
Bill of Rights Act 1990.
3. The REAs commissioning of a single supplier to provide compulsory
CPD training to all licensees is in breach of Part 2 of the Commerce
Act 1986.
4. The Registrars refusal to exempt Janet Dickson from undertaking
the Te Kakano course should be set aside.
***
So this is an issue of the REA extending its mandate by imposing
requirements on its members that are not professionally required.

It is the new government - they are encouraging all sort of changes;
whatever they think will get them votes next year when the coalition
falls apart.
