NewzA real estate agent, Janet Dickson, has failed in her legal attempt to secure an exemption from a mandatory 90-minute Māori culture course required for industry licensing. A disciplinary tribunal rejected her argument that the compulsory training infringed upon her rights to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.
The ruling confirms that the requirement for the cultural training remains in place for the agent. The tribunal's decision upholds the regulatory standards set for real estate professionals regarding cultural competency.
