They.
I agree with your synopsis apart from the origin of the policy.
That poonsie little prick with the bow tie did exactly that to TAA before he came to Q. Set up the silos then make them all compete for profit.
Vividly recall asking why I could see trolleys of freight for LST outside the freight shed as we taxied for LST with an empty hold. "IPEC can do it cheaper" was the answer.
Point is, don't give Scrotum Face all the credit. The Bow tie taught him all he knew. As he still holds a board position he is probably still up to his armpits in it.
Let your rage be heard.
