Speaking te reo Māori on-air not a breach of standards - BSA Newshub 8/03/2021 Jamie Ensor © Getty. The BSA has received five times as many enquiries about the language s use than a year ago.
New Zealand s Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) is making it crystal clear that speaking te reo Māori on-air is not a breach of standards.
Since June last year, the BSA says it has received 27 enquiries about the language s use, with two resulting in formal complaints against broadcasters. That s five times as many as in the same period the year before.
With te reo Māori being an official language of Aotearoa and protected by law, the BSA says its use is not a breach of standards.
