In this excerpt Jeannie Baxter  outlines the way that the big corporations are profiting from public private partnerships (PPP's) in the ongoing stimulus projects, funded by both state and federal governments -  that is, the taxpayer.  U onsing Westconnex  as an example, Jeannie  discusses the  influence of corporations - who are also members of both  political parties and large donors -  in the outcome of infrastructure grants,  the millions of dollars that the government has spent on  promotional advertising  connected to these projects, and the  lack of accountability in the way taxpayer funds are being spent.
