Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has appointed Matt Kean as the next chair of the Climate Change Authority, citing his experience and qualifications for the role. Kean, a long-serving state Liberal MP, has been praised by Albanese as an outstanding choice for the position.
Kean’s background in the NSW government, particularly in energy and environment portfolios, has prepared him well for this new role. His appointment comes at a crucial time as Australia navigates its energy transition and debates future energy policies.
With Kean set to assume his new role in August, his leadership at the Climate Change Authority is expected to bring insight, expertise, and a commitment to a cleaner energy future for Australia.
