Yep, software provision (including engineering support and updating/cock up repairs). The 208mill (or 52 a year + rats and mice) is now around 1.5mill a week at the last figures I heard

I haven't read anything like that and that $208M over 4 year is from June 2023. I can't find anything for those numbers on a quick google.

And who says we are short of funding? Its not lack of funds for Policing, its lack of experienced cops and a lack of new recruits.

Ha, so what you are saying is that the numbers for costs are being fudged already. That's reassuring...

No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that the only figures I have read are the $208M over 4 years. You are claiming you've heard different, not me, if you have something to back up your numbers, then lets see it.

Well to be fair it's only a chuck away out of a newspaper article, but given the timeframes vs the 208mill over four years figure you're listing and the increasing price of 'everything' currently I would have to say that 1.5mill a week is a fair number. Ties in with 208 divided by the number of months equalling 1 mill a week followed by the rough guesstimate of all cost increases running at circa 25% plus the usual Govt department underestimation figure running at 25%. I think your 3.85million head of population is a little high, we are bloody near on track to lose that number to Aussie haha.

So you have nothing to back up your $1.5M other than a good reckon?

3.85M is the number that the IRD has. They would know after all.

Newspaper article... 3.85 is interesting, that's higher than Stats's pop figure (5199100-Mar23). I wonder if that's taxpaying entities rather than population? But even that seems light considering the number of one person outfits, but then if they are sole-trader and not individually registered I guess they aren't a separate entity. So that might be the right figure for 'entities'.

Yeah, you have to remember that children and the retired also pay tax, 75% of the population.
