October is Blind Low Vision Month
DID YOU KNOW? 1 in 5 NZers may experience blindness or low vision in their lifetime but only 10% of published information is available in formats accessible to people who are blind, deaf-blind or have low vision. 👩🦯👨🦯
That's why REA (Real Estate Authority) have published key consumer guides in e-braillie, audio and large print formats to support blind, deaf-blind and low vision communities to ensure that all real estate consumers across NZ are fully supported and have confidence in their real estate buying and selling journey.
The new guides include:
The Residential Sale and Purchase Agreement
The Residential Agency Agreement
The Real Estate Buying Journey
REA’s Complaints and Disciplinary Process

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
