I really don't understand the pushback on this. If you've ever been to Canada, you will find every sign is either a symbol, or dual-language. In fact, all signs, including food packaging, must include English and French. It's not confusing, and you immediately gloss over the bits you don't understand.
It's such a trivial thing to show support for the other official language of New Zealand.

I do note they put English first on the signs.
I'm not sure why it really matters, but this one is the other way round
