Rio Tinto CEO warns Australia’s ‘vile racism’ hits Voice

Rio Tinto, whose destruction of the Juukan Gorge led to cultural heritage legislation in Western Australia that is now set to be repealed, has written to traditional owners promising not to backtrack on the laws, says its Australian boss.

Kellie Parker, speaking at The Australian Financial Review BOSS Young Executives Summit after returning from last weekend’s Garma Festival, also warned that Australian racism over The Voice referendum had boiled over.
