City Rail Link cost concerns are re-igniting calls for a shake up to the way we approach infrastructure.

The project's former boss Sean Sweeney claims the build could've been completed at half the estimated $5.5 billion.

It sparked Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop to announce a full review of the project after it's opened later this year.

Civil Contractors New Zealand CEO Alan Pollard told Mike Hosking Sweeney's views line up with broader over-spending concerns.

He says we have a tendency to favour bespoke design, whereas having a catalogue of standard designs would be much more efficient.

The Conservation Minister says there's huge opportunity for conservation land to generate the country more money. 

A bill's been lodged, promising major reforms aimed at speeding up the DOC sign-off process for concessions on conservation land. 

It would also see overseas visitors charged to visit certain sites – estimated to raise around $60 million a year to go to conservation. 

Tama Potaka told Mike Hosking he's confident visitors are prepared to pay. 

He says they've just started charging for a few carparks and made about $1.5 million for DOC.

The Finance Minister says the Government's going to have to do something about Superannuation.  

An OECD report warns if current policy settings continue, we could be spending 5% more of our GDP on health, long-term care, and pensions by 2060. 

Minister Nicola Willis says the cost for superannuation is going up billions of dollars, while there are fewer workers for every pensioner.  

She told Mike Hosking the cost is also rising as a proportion of taxes.  

Willis says it will soon account for 20%, and every dollar spent isn't available for education, health, and infrastructure.
