Western Australiaâs Labor government has ruled out giving traditional owners the power to veto mining activity, despite Indigenous leaders renewing calls for such power on the anniversary of Rio Tinto destroying Juukan Gorge.

WA Aboriginal Affairs Minister Stephen Dawson discussed the veto powers with the stateâs biggest native title groups last week.
