Further to your OIA request below, we have collated the information we
hold “pertaining to the appointment of Fale Andrew Lesā to the CAC”,
however we need some additional time to consult with third parties about
the request before we release the information. 

 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 15A of the Official Information Act, we
extend the respond time to Friday 22 August 2025.

 

I note that you have the right, under s28(3) of the OIA, to make a
complaint to an Ombudsman about the extension.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Ngā mihi

investigation reveals flawed CV

 

Dear Real Estate Agents Authority,

In light of recent news and I understand from one of my previous OIA act
request that Fale Andrew Lesā is one of your CAC member

[8]https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/36076424...

May I kindly request your most current CAC member list as of 21 July 2025,
and if Fale Andrew Lesā is not your current CAC member, when does he
resign. I request to view his resignation letter.

Also, in light with the news, I would like requesting all documents and
information you hold pertaining to the appointment of Fale Andrew Lesā to
the CAC.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
