Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

New Zealand is being recommended to find a long-term vision for its infrastructure.

\n

The Infrastructure Commission's released a new report on long-term spending demands ahead of next year's National Infrastructure Plan.

\n

Infrastructure New Zealand CEO Nick Leggett says we need to better understand the wide benefits of infrastructure if we're to succeed long-term.

\n

He told Ryan Bridge that when compared with the rest of the OECD, the quality of our spending is letting us down.

\n

Leggett says we're in the bottom four in the efficiency we get from infrastructure, and how we manage our assets is also poor.
