No, the news is better than that. The $75000
is the 3 years of living expenses. NZIS work on $1000 per person per month, so that's 36000 for the 36 months, times 2 for 2 adults. I believe for a family they work on $3K per month, so about $100K for the 3 years. Whether that's really enough to live on is debatable, hopefully the business brings in the income anyway.
