Could not be explained any better.
-The taxpayers of Australia and US.
-Private investors, aka sponsors.
-Insurance underwriters (if any).
Ergo, Other Peoples' Money. And I just love the Public Rescue option for failure. Like modern investment banking. However, if it'd succeeded who'd you think get to keep the profits. Like investment bankers -it's their bling. Only suckers, aka Investors and Taxpayers, pay for failure.
