Last month, the BSA recently declined to determine a complaint about the use of te reo across a number of TVNZ broadcasts.
The complainant had claimed use of te reo was discriminatory toward non-Mori speaking New Zealanders and divisive, but the BSA determined that the use of the language did not raise any issue of broadcasting standards.

Te Reo Mori was an official New Zealand language and noted its use was protected and promoted by existing law, the BSA said.
A complaint about the use of Te Reo Mori does not raise an issue of harm as envisaged by the standards. The use of Te Reo Mori is an editorial decision for broadcasters.
Broadcasters were encouraged by the BSA to respond to such complaints indicating that it is not a breach of standards to broadcast in Te Reo Mori.
