Mullen was lucky to have Malcolm Broomhead as Chair @ Asciano when he took over from the accident-prone Mark Rowsthorn.
For his part Mullen was a largely absent CEO, choosing to indulge in his scuba diving & other pursuits rather than making any strategic moves on the duopoly he inherited.

His oversight as Chair has been nothing short of wholesale value destruction for shareholders, starting with Toll – as we both know !!
