Timeline of Rio Tinto’s environmental racism

Rio Tinto blows up Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura cultural heritage expand their billion dollar iron ore mine

Then Rio Tinto apologises after global outrage claims they didn’t know about Traditional owner opposition
*bonus fuckery WA Government also claim they “weren’t aware” of blast and pretend to be outraged

Proof says otherwise on both claims

Then leaked leaked tapes reveal Rio Tinto boss saying they’re not sorry for doing it just sorry the Aboriginals are upset now
Then Rio Tinto releases another statement saying they’re actually really sorry

TRUTH IS Rio Tinto are only sorry they got caught
Mining corporations have been doing this to us since colonisation. Go and read about the massacres that happened across the county including the Pilbara.

Stop acting like this the first time something like this has happened
This is happening right now to many other First Nations across the country in every State & Territory.

Many of these fight get ignored by the media and ignored by society

Until we have full rights to veto mining over sacred and significant country it will never stop
We need Land Rights now
