The Government's proposing changes to the Public Works Act to speed up acquiring land, including premium payments to private landowners. 

The Environment Court will be sidelined from the objections process. 

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking a lot of these are NZTA roading projects. 

He says they don't like taking land, but it's the reality if we want to build infrastructure in this country.
