So what's this about Australia being cucked and sacking Rio Tinto management? They mine iron ore but it's relevant to the mining sector there.

Evidently a bunch of bleached 1/16 abbos or whatever claim that this rock shelter was sacred for 46,000 years and also that it was destroyed, even though it obviously only had a little overburden fall into the gorge when the mine pushed up and built that presumably protective embankment along the ridge.

Sure, truckloads of crap fell down but the way I read it before seeing this article and picture was that the mine completely leveled and annihilated the place like the Taliban blasting the giant Buddhas. I love history and shed some tears reading about what the Taliban was doing in the 90s and watching ISIS' antics more recently, but this is absolutely ridiculous, nothing was harmed (all natural anyway this ain't the Parthenon), some spots just got buried a bit deeper.

What a joke, that loose overburden could be dug and ported out of there no problem, seems like just a thin excuse to try to disrupt the mine, and what I'm wondering here is if there is some powerful greenie environmentalist faction in Australia that may soon go after gold producers too? Any Aussies have insights about this development?
