Justice Burley noted the 240 sacred sites inside the Solomon Hub mining area that had become inaccessible to the Yindjibarni people, 124 of which had been "completely destroyed" by the mining operations.

Sorry we permanently destroyed parts of your culture. Here's 0.02% of the profit we made from the willful destruction.

The billionaire is worth about $20 billion. That $150 settlement is about 0.75%.
