You can just imagine our shock last week when Rio Tinto released the brutally condemnatory review of its workplace culture conducted last year by former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick.
Since 2018, nearly 60 Rear Window columns have been devoted to the appalling management and governance of Rio Tinto, more than 20 of them before Juukan Gorge even happened. Time and again we lamented “an organisational culture of fear and toxicity” at that company. Its board of directors could not have been less interested.
