A rear rack on a Fullnine?

I would never have considered fitting a rack on a full suspension bike until now.
So the story goes, my wife & I bought Fullnine's to ride trails together.
Which we did for a while, but she is now just using hers for work.
I was looking to replace it with a trekking or similar to be more suitable for her.
In the old days you would just hang the bike on the wall in the garage & buy a new one.
But with the cost of an ebike today, you are less likely to do that.
I have tried a few dealers but they don't want trade-ins, so you are left with trying to sell it.
I have advertised it but haven't been rushed with offers.
So as a plan B, I am considering transforming it into trekking mode.
Basically that means fitting full mudguards & a rear rack for her handbag & stuff.
Mudguards are not a problem, but the rack is not so easy.
I have been searching the net for a suitable setup, but are still looking.
Would like one that is attached to the frame, not just the seat post.
Was wondering if anyone could recommend one & give me a part number so I could source it.
Bearing in mind I am down under in New Zealand.

Just for reference - the way the thule rack works, on a full suspension MTB, the weight limit is less than you'd expect on the bike size. About 2,5kgs!

If you want to carry serious load, you have to consider these:

Very happy with my OMM kit which arrived very quickly from the USA. Not cheap but excellent quality and a perfect fit. My bike is a hard tail but I believe they also make FS kits. Worth an email.
