"The Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR) is calling on Origin Energy (ASX:ORG) and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) to take immediate action to quarantine the interests of both Oleg Deripaska and Viktor Vekselberg in their respective joint ventures."

idk what to make of the developments. I can't see the board breaking existing investment agreements without explicit direction from the Australian Government. Despite the activism blowback. Sure it will cost some social media points, public memory is short and the consumer wallet outvotes the activism.
