So, for every two dollars local councils and private sector put in, the gvt puts in 1$.
As council money is public money from tax payers anyway, we tax payers put 2$ in and the private sector puts in 1$, does that sounds logical?
Now , how a private company is going to be able to get funded? I know g Morgan and his mates could be generous, but they are still here for business and having some kind of returns. So unless it is donations from NZ public or separately funded by gvt I can t see where money would come from.
Now if there was a bounty on rats, stoats, hedgehog , possums...etc. that would better motivate the population to act and be better for economy. At 1$ a possum, those 28 millions would help to eradicate almost 1/2 of the population. Say $2 a stoat, because they are doing a lot of damage and are not that easy to catch. 1/2$ a hedgehog , and 1$ for ten rats. Cats would be free :-) at least it would be good money to would get back into the economy specially in the rural areas.
Because I can see that predator free company being created, and spending their first $10 millions on iPhones, flash Utes , computers and all the administrative shit before they have killed a single rat.
