Everything is relative when it comes to the whole class of "extractive" industries.

As for the timeline, for a lot of industries, 5-10 years to get off of fossil fuels is not unreasonable. What's unreasonable is that the start dates are like 2022 when they should have been 2002 or earlier.

@alan Happy to discuss if you have any questions 🙂
Andrew Forrest is literally the Bill Gates of Australia - Billionaire "doing good".
However:
"Court filings show the Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation is seeking A$1.8 billion in compensation from the Western Australian government after it allowed the Fortescue mining company to dig iron ore on their sacred country without any land-use agreement."
