John Tookey: Construction expert: worries changes to the Fast Track Bill will limit the number of significant projects

A construction expert worries changes to the Fast Track Bill will limit the number of significant projects.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop yesterday announced Cabinet will recommend changes to the proposed law, to the Environment Select Committee.

It includes switching who has the final say from Ministers to an independent panel.

AUT Construction Expert John Tookey told Mike Hosking he hopes the panel approves projects other than just what politicians want.

He says no government has been willing to do the right thing for the maximum number of people.
