Your super and your investment choices are yours. Always beware of media quotes as there is usually their a lot or no background top them. With trade agreements , partnerships always on the table it is always a good thing to say - we could invest , we are a good partner we are stable etc etc. Bit of diplomacy in these statements as I am sure you understand and who knows what audience it was targeted at.
With infrastructure being a specific investment category some funds may / will offer it as a separate investment choice. It may overlap with utility style investments etc etc. Stability of utility and infrastructure investments that can come with govt backing or guarantees can create a very stable income stream and known capital value over a very long term. As you note it could be via infustructure bonds, direct investment and other versions with different risks.
He may also be referring to the "future fund" started in 2006 it funds the previously unfunded government employees superannuation. It may have restrictions on possible investments and it may be a commitment to open that option if it isn't already.

Returning 7.8% average since inception and 139 billion under management.
In reference to the future fund if they screw it up then taxpayers will eventually foot the bill one way or another as many old govt benefits were open ended and set values and not based on performance of fund etc etc.
