The apology feels cheap, as there's no mention of any repercussions whatsoever for the mining giant. Looks like it's business as usual.

It's a terrifying precent set here when mining companies can simply blow up ancient sites like this, say "oops, sorry", and carry on with business.

The apology is cheap, and there are no repercussions.

It is business as usual. That's Australia.

46,000 year old Aboriginal caves dating back to the last ice ace, where 4,000-year-old braided hair had been found. The timelines of Austraila are almost incomprehensible, and yet there is no duty of care, we blow that shit up.
