Rebuild!?!?! They’ll need to BUILD trust first

Nah, they want ro appear to have trust of native land owners. Its good for PR, it's good for investments. Otherwise They don't give a fuck

Too late, the damage is done & criminal charges will never happen in the wanton destruction of what they did. The mining industry will continue doing what it does best, the environmental rape of the land & all within it whilst making a lot of money for a select few.
Bit late you tossers.
Stop the PC rubbish now
