Rio Tinto's Agreement Issues: Rio Tinto has not updated its agreement with the Robe River Kuruma Aboriginal Corporation, failing to fulfill a commitment made after the destruction of the Juukan Gorge heritage site, which has led to accusations of underpayment and broken promises regarding mining royalties.
