It has been revealed the man responsible for leading a review into Rio Tinto's Juukan Gorge disaster received an enormous pay rise.The Rio Tinto executive in charge of the review into the blasting of Juukan Gorge caves received 46 per cent on top of his annual director fees
Last year, the company blasted 46,000-year-old rock shelters in Western Australia's Pilbara region, despite warnings of the site's cultural significance to Indigenous Australians.The report's remuneration section shows the man who led the internal inquiry into the disaster, Michael L'Estrange, was paid an extra 46 per cent on top of his annual director fees for his efforts.
Independent mining analyst Mark Pervan said no director should have received a single extra cent following the debacle."There is clearly an opportunity here to show they are serious about amending that and I think that could have been done through a zero-remuneration adjustment or putting the hard work in and hoping they can restore the reputation and trust with the community.
She was asked to help Mr L'Estrange conduct the inquiry but refused when, she said, it was obviously not going to be independent.
Manajus Rotters.
Clearly the board must go.
What Rio did was appalling. That makes it more important to report accurately on their actions. L’Estrange is a non-exec director not an executive. He didn’t receive a’pay rise’ - he received extra $$’s for the extra task being the review. ABC please don’t go the way of the rest!
Yet burn an australian flag (made in china) & the political bs hits the fan
time for these creeps to go to jail and money revoked!!
