By law these 500M have to be recovered from firearms owners....

100% recovery?? Police have proposed 25, 50 or 75% cost recovery in fees, haven't they? And no decision yet. Plus a new government.

so are you suggesting that there will be 100% cost recovery for the set up and running of the registration scheme?

Read the act yourself.

I have...
Where in the list of "Activities for which fees or charges may be imposed" in Section 80 of the Act does it include recovering the cost of administering the registration database?
(https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/...LMS368857.html)

Or anywhere else in Sections 79-86? The sections of the Act that detail cost recovery.

Reading the Act and interpreting the Act are quite different. You seem to have read it.

The sign off for the new Fees Regime is sitting on the Minister of Police desk. It has been there for months untouched, "Gaslight" Ginny wouldn't sign-off pre-election. It is Mark Mitchell's baby now. Given what Police have signed off-on is kept secret it is looking ominous especially for a Govt that has inherited a virtually bankrupt economy. Lets hope ACT/Nicole McKee can talk sense into Mitchell/Willis.
