Australians have never been more distrusting of corporate Australia.
"They say corporate Australia's behaviour since the onset of COVID has led to dramatically soaring distrust, and voters are distressed by the amount of "moral blindness" they see among corporate leaders."
"They say Australians are angry with firms like PwC, Optus, Telstra, Medibank, Rio Tinto and Facebook/Meta, following huge data breaches and other scandals. The PwC tax scandal and the data breaches at Optus and Medibank are among recent events accelerating distrust."
"Rio Tinto hasn't recovered from Juukan Gorge blast...distrust in the mining giant increased dramatically in May 2020 after it blew up an unfathomably-ancient sacred Indigenous site, and it has never recovered from that scandal. In mid-2020, the leadership of Rio Tinto authorised the destruction of a 46,000-year-old Indigenous rock shelter at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia...In a matter of minutes, 8 million tonnes of ore were blasted from the heritage site so that Rio Tinto could access $135 million dollars' worth of high-grade iron ore."
"It's distrust where society's deepest fears, pain and betrayal surface – and that's because distrust embodies the fundamental vulnerabilities, past betrayals, and concerns that can erode the foundational bonds and shared beliefs that unite a community."
