Infrastructure is top of the agenda for the Government for the last months of 2024.

The Prime Minister this week released his Q4 action plan, with plenty of targets focussing on getting things built.

Among the 43 objectives is the highly controversial fast-track approvals bill, which it’s hoped will speed up the delivery of regional and national projects of significance.

The focus on infrastructure comes a week after the Government announced Dunedin’s new hospital could be downgraded due to budget concerns.

To discuss houses, roads, hospitals - and that niggly issue of budgets - today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop.
