The Juukan Gorge Legacy Foundation has been given permission by the Australian Charities & Not-For-Profits Commission to redact most of the information from its annual accounts. The Foundation was established by Rio Tinto and the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people in 2023 as part of an agreement to remedy the iron ore miner’s destruction of Indigenous heritage at Juukan Gorge in 2020, with the Foundation receiving a multimillion-dollar payment from Rio each year. Confirming that the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission had given it permission to redact its accounts, a Foundation spokesman said it was done to "avoid pricing heritage destruction".
