For 50 years, the Aurukun bauxite lease has been handed around, warehoused and traded while Wik people have been excluded from decisions about their own country. Glencore held it for a decade, did nothing with it, then told Traditional Owners by email that it had been sold. This gives Rio Tinto control of almost the entire bauxite deposits in the area. They must not inherit this legacy without putting Wik people at the centre of decisions about their development future.
We suspect that this won’t be the end of this for the Wik people.
