The Dissolution of Public Private Partnerships …

International Review of business Research Papers Volume 6. Number 2. July 2010 The Dissolution of Public Private Partnerships : An Australian Case Study of the Political Costs Involved Andrew Dahdal In a 2008 discussion paper, Infrastructure Australia, a statutory advisory council consisting of 12 members, noted that national infrastructure ..is the platform for future growth and prosperity . In recent years, however, a number of PPPs engaged in building this national infrastructure have collapsed. With the creation of a Future Fund by the current Australian government and a robust agenda envisioned for the technological advancement of Australian infrastructure through a National Broadband Network this paper seeks to examine the non-economic political costs associated with the collapse of such PPPs. Although perhaps pessimistic, in that parties do not generally commit to a PPP expecting it to collapse, the costs associated with unsuccessful PPPs are indeed considerations that should at least be acknowledged at the outset of a venture in a robust risk profile.
