I mean don’t get me wrong, I understand that it’s a business and that a profit is one of the aims of that. My dad was a very successful food manufacturer and had a profitable business in that for a long time. But his key thing was quality - with quality, fair pricing and fair treatment of people came good business. And he stood his ground against the big (Aussie) supermarkets on this and won. I just don’t understand this alternative approach.

@CatherineFlick Plus there’s just that possibility (but I don’t know for sure) that their contract was not won through the normal channels of pricing and competition. I could, of course, be entirely wrong in this but a litany of government-awarded contract scandals over the past few years (in particular) has turned me into a suspicious cynic.
