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.
Northern Infrastructure Forum Executive Director Barney Irvine told Mike Hosking the big political divisions over infrastructure don't reflect the public mood.
He says there's a lot more consensus among the public over infrastructure, and most people just want the government of the day to get on and do stuff.
