Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop calls for significant reform in New Zealand's infrastructure to improve efficiency and funding.

New Zealand's infrastructure needs a significant reform to improve efficiency and ensure adequate funding over time to maintain assets, says Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop.
