As the government has doled out billions over the last year or so with zero return, especially without the GST from tourism, time to tighten the belts unless they can 100% PROVE there is a guaranteed financial benefit to NZ and explain it to the tax-payers. Every $5m costs every person in NZ $1, but as only about half are actually net tax payers, make that $2.
The government doesn't support other sports people putting NZ and local technology on the world stage, such as Hayden Paddon with his EV rally car.

Where did Grant Dalton's obvious wealth actually come from? Not from building or refitting boats that is for sure.
What is the carbon footprint of those billionaires flying their private jets to NZ? How many boats actually competed this last time?
