Rio Tinto's CEO and two senior executives have been stripped of some of their bonuses for the blasting of the ancient Juukan Gorge.

Rio Tinto chief executive Jean-Sebastien Jacques and two senior executives have been stripped of some of their bonuses after an internal investigation found they must bear some responsibility for the destruction of 46,000-year-old Aboriginal rock shelters in Western Australia.

Rio's remuneration committee found Mr Jacques as the chief executive, head of corporate relations Simone Niven who oversees community engagement and Rio iron ore division boss Chris Salisbury must bear responsibility for "acts of omission, rather than commission, in failing to implement a fit-for-purpose management system at the mine".The three executives will not receive short-term incentive payments at the end of 2020.

It also acknowledged that it missed opportunities to reconsider its mine plans after archaeological excavations in 2014 found the site to be of much greater archaeological significance than initially thought.

Wow, stripped 3 people of bonus money totalling almost $5 million. How brutal of RioTinto.

I think more than bonus reductions is in order here

Slashes bonuses? Should be slashing their jobs. They've done unforgivable and irreplaceable damage to Australia and in turn Australians past, present and future based on their decisions, not least our indigenous community. Shambolic leadership from ausgov and RioTinto

If you see a senior Rio exec on the street, you know what to do.

What? The wealthy executives feel some repercussions for their behavior?! I am shocked.

What the blazers? Box Hill college dumps old uniform for activewearAlthough the school’s new activewear will be branded with the college’s name and motto, students will be free to wear any combination of apparel they like. That’s a real shame. I always wore a blazer at public school and whilst the rule could be annoying at times like in warm weather, it gave a sense of pride and belonging. Great idea to encourage kids to get more active . Never understood why we dress kids up like little adults Before some marketing fashionista got hold of it, activewear was called a daggy tracksuit

Disgraceful, ban all the sick perpetrators 😞 Terrible. Its a Murdoch paper so accuracy is not super important. The article mentions only Rugby. Scomo's game is League. Rugby League≠Rugby (Rugby Union).

Teen arrested over spate of alleged unprovoked attacks in Sydney’s westA teenager has been charged over a series of allegedly unprovoked attacks that included an eight-year-old girl being hit in the head by a fire extinguisher. We all know they prob aren't White. Hope to hear the report on the sentencing which, more than likely, will be a 12 month good behaviour bond. It happens over & over, the alleged perpetrators portray themselves as victims of an unjust society and get away with all types of crimes.

Stricken Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny arrives in GermanyThe 44-year-old politician, one of Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critics, was admitted to an intensive care unit in the Siberian city of Omsk on Thursday. phoebelehan1 'Dissident'? I thought he was a legit Leader of an Opposition Party? Would English press describe Biden as a dissident if he was to meet, as Putin would say, an 'unfortunate accident'? 🤔 That poor man 👨 So much for his supposed patriotism. Rather than be treated by Russians in Russia he fled to Germany for treatment. It won't be of help & he's likely to contract covid19 as well. He ought to stay there now as he's not a patriot & is hurtful to fellow citizens with his mistrust.
