Eg...MELBOURNE, Australia-- Comments attributable to Rio Tinto chief executive Jean-Sebastien Jacques
“Rio Tinto will fully cooperate with the Inquiry by the Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia while also continuing to support the West Australian government in the reform of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA). We are committed to engaging with the rest of the industry, Traditional Owner Groups, and federal and state governments across a number of areas relating to cultural heritage approvals and processes, and the broad contribution of the resources sector to Australia.
“We are very sorry for the distress we have caused the PKKP in relation to Juukan Gorge and our first priority remains rebuilding trust with the PKKP. Rio Tinto has a long history of working in partnership and creating shared value with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities around our operations and across Australia more broadly. We remain absolutely committed to continuing to do so.
“We believe the mining industry has a critical role to play in contributing to the future prosperity of all Australians.”
A Genuine sorry...probably not, but well worded and what was required to move on.
This is the big end of town though...my problem is that Ms Wallan is a inexperienced kid not a Government Minister, not the head of a company or a experienced First Nations Leader. As I said before this could have been settled with a cup of tea, a Tim Tam and letting the kid feel important enough that her voice was being heard by the most powerful woman in the country.
A bit of reassurance and parenting 101 skills from Gina and it would have been happy days instead of the train wreck it is now....maybe I am asking a lot of Gina given the struggles she had with her own kids...money the root of all evil I guess...
Are you angling for the role of Hancock Prospecting PR guru EB?
Perhaps that should be common sense guru?
A meeting with Wallam, with or without the rest of the team, could have allayed her concerns and Rinehart could continue to publicly avoid the question.

I can't believe the air-time this whole Gina / NA thing has got.
Personally, i couldn't give a f*** about the whole situation one way or another, and don't care to delve into it the whole scenario, but i think it highlights how much we are missing footy that its the hot topic.

And Donnell Wallam scored the winning goal with a last second lay up ?

Brian Cook has had his say on sport and sponsorships saying the club will make the final decision not any woke players but he is happy to listen to their views.
Don't have the link but he seemed fairly forthright in his opinions..

A good administrator would be all over any potential player concerns and would avoid or nip them in the bud. Giving the players the confidence and licence to raise concerns with the appropriate club authority would be a key to avoiding controversy.

Not sure if this should be here or in the car thread, but I heard today that a US coach builder is trying to resurrect the DeLorean as a hydrogen powered eco-car.
The poor mans AMG GT, what next a hydrogen P76?
