Chris Bishop: Minister of Infrastructure on the new framework for public-private partnerships in infrastructure

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

The Infrastructure Minister maintains that more public-private partnerships won't mean more privatisation of assets.  Chris Bishop's unveiled a new framework for the PPPs to encourage the government to work with developers to build key projects.  He told Mike Hosking concerns of privatisation are unfounded.  Bishop says while projects would be built by private developers, ownership would remain with the Crown.  He says that it’s just project delivery method and a procurement method, but at the end of the day it sits on the Government’s balance sheet.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
