The big question.
Will an independent Hal, run by the current clubs introduce P & R.
Reading the article and looking at NZ history to date in the A-League it seems whats wanted from the NZ perspective is an MLS type structure with all clubs guaranteed a place forever regardless of performance both on an off the field. Essentially a closed tier franchise model. With each club regardless of performance receiving equal distributions of revenue.
The push by the State Feds, and the NPL clubs is for P & R to be introduced between 2024 & 2027. Further there is a push that any future broadcast deal involve a % to the second division to help build it up. Again would the existing clubs take on board the idea of funding a second division.
Lets assume, club ZZZZZZZ get an average of 10 people to a match, never wins a game, and has a goal difference of 8 goals a game. Do they stay in ?????? if the answer is no .... then at what level do you draw the line ????

Not until they become financially viable

If theu are viable and able to win the play offs if P & R to be introduced between 2024 & 2027
Broadcasting deal for their games is theirs to negotiate if 2nd tier is an independent league
If a 2nd tier is to be financed by the HAL it will all fail.

Until the 2nd tier clubs are secure and set up for 2024/2017. Yes hold place
