Australian iron ore major
Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) has apologized to a local Aboriginal group for clearing land on a heritage site without representatives of the community being present while the work was done.
The iron ore miner had Western Australian’s government permission to clear land in the Weelamurra Creek area, on condition that members of the Wintawari Guruma people were present to perform salvage and cultural rites, Reuters reported.
Fortescue CEO Elizabeth Gaines attributed the incident to an “administrative error,” which led to land-clearing works earlier than scheduled on Feb. 1.
NEW RULES FOR NEW ZEALAND
According to the ABC, Australia’s eastern states have imposed new quarantine restrictions on New Zealand travellers after the number of COVID-19 cases linked to an Auckland high school grew to eight.
While NZ authorities believe the outbreak, which prompted a lockdown on Sunday February 14, is under control, NSW Health has also announced it is contacting travellers who have arrived from the country since Saturday and recommended that, as a precaution, they should get tested and isolate until they get a negative result.
The news comes after private aged care company HealthCare Australia revealed that a doctor who incorrectly gave two elderly Queenslanders a “higher than the recommended dose” of the Pfizer vaccine had not completed the required immunisation training.
