$11b for fuel stockpile; banks lead ASX higher; value of Aussie farmland surges

With $242 billion in infrastructure spending on the table, there is a challenge in deciding where to allocate the funds. Sean Aylmer speaks with Adam Copp, CEO of Infrastructure Australia, about how projects are assessed, prioritised and funded, and why tough trade-offs are unavoidable.

They unpack the key pressures shaping decisions — from freight and ports to clean energy and data centres — and explain how long-term trends like population growth, climate change and AI are influencing where money flows. It’s a practical look at how governments make high-stakes investment calls, and what that means for the economy and investors.
