Chris Bishop: Infrastructure Minister wraps 2025, looks ahead to 2026

With all the hats he wears, Chris Bishop has been busy this year.  He’s the Minister for Infrastructure, and also holds the portfolios for Transport, Housing, RMA Reform, and the role of Leader of the House.  While wrapping up 2025, Bishop told Kerre Woodham he’s proud of how the Fast Track legislation has been tracking.  He says things like the Waihi North mine expansion and the Port of Auckland expansion would have normally taken years to break ground, but the legislation means they’re both underway.  Plus, he told Woodham, there are big housing developments, renewable energy projects, and many more coming through his office.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
