Tuning into the public's stance on infrastructure could stand politicians in good stead.  

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop's laid out his plans for the industry and announced a new National Infrastructure Agency.  

He invites more debate across Parliament over long term planning to ensure a system that lasts.
