Strictly speaking, it's public money. 'Taxpayer's money' ceases to be taxpayer's money when it's paid in taxes. It then becomes public money. The phrase 'taxpayer's money' has been a sleight of hand used by rightwing organisations to try to force politicians to lower taxes. It should always be avoided.
Needless to say, the Government playing fast and loose with public money to cover their arses is unacceptable.

Genuine question… when they say ordered the government to pay 75% of the costs, that’s the taxpayer right?
