Chris Bishop: Infrastructure Minister on 35,000 people marching for Dunedin hospital project

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

An estimated 35,000 people marched in Dunedin over proposed downgrades to the city’s new hospital project. Protesters were calling on the Government to keep its promise on the build - but the Government says the project is blowing out by billions and overspend would affect infrastructure in other regions. Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop tells Heather du Plessis-Allan “it’s an extremely complex project” and the Government is being as transparent as it can be.
