Of course it fucking should. Keeping te reo alive is a mark of distinction and honour for this country, and anything that can be used to make it more ubiquitous must be encouraged and nurtured.
RNZ should use more - it's just one tiny step in the long road to overcoming the bullshit Maori have had to put up with for the past two centuries, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
There is no argument against this that isn't fundamentally racist, so there really isn't much more to say. Te reo is here to stay.
Anybody who has a problem with that needs to grow the fuck up and join the 21st century. We won't be waiting for you to catch up for much longer.
