Professor Glynn Cochrane, one of the world's top anthropologists, spent 20 years implementing Rio Tinto's social performance program. "That is why I am particularly sad because [Rio Tinto] just has not been prepared to listen," he said, before"[It was] an accident waiting to happen and I think it will happen again unless the fundamental structural and personnel problems are addressed.""I care about the company, I care about the people [still there] and I don't think it's going in the right direction.

"When I talked to one main board member, he said 'I am not sure this company is right for you because if you join it, we don't want you to lose the capacity to say "f*** you". If you lose that, you are no good to us.'"Rio Tinto recently destroyed two ancient rock shelters in the Pilbara where there was evidence of continuous human occupation going back 46,000 years.

BealABC Everything and anything then

rape the land & get away with it, only answer with lawyers present...

Uhmmm🤔 But that’s what every business and or company in the world does...🤷‍♂️ Why do you think they hire teams of lawyers? Bend the rules until just before they snap... Normal business practise, nothing to see here... move along!
