Chris Bishop: National's Infrastructure spokesperson on 58 of Govt's 'shovel ready' projects completed - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Has the Government got an issue with their 'shovel ready' project programme.

Back in July 2020 they announced their $2.6 billion plan to pump money into construction projects to kickstart them into life.

It faced plenty of criticism at the time with the shovel ready projects not in fact 'shovel ready' - but new data has been released around it.

The latest report shows 229 projects were approved for funding, 218 have begun construction and 58 have been completed.

National's Infrastructure spokesperson Chris Bishop joined Mike Hosking.
