Some New Zealanders have pushed against the revival, debating the replacement of English-language place names with original Māori names, criticising a police car having Māori language and graphics, and complaining about being used by broadcasters.

This followed a fivefold increase in complaints to the BSA. The use of Māori in itself does not breach any broadcasting standards.
