It’s been nearly a year since the Government changed hands, and Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins is back with Kerre Woodham to answer the hard-hitting questions. 

Hipkins is pointing his finger at the coalition for slowing infrastructure down because of a lack of bipartisanship.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop has been urging parties to work across the House to secure a solid building pipeline. 

But Labour leader Hipkins says it's the new Government which has been more partisan on infrastructure investment. 

He told Kerre Woodham the coalition put a whole lot of things on hold already underway after the election.

Hipkins says many of those projects need to happen anyway, so when Labour regains power they won't stop things already started just because it wasn't their priority.
