Former Australian finance Minister Mathias Cormann elected head of OECD

Australia’s former finance minister Mathias Cormann has been elected the new head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development .

Climate activists hit out at his bid for the leadership, with environmental and humanitarian organisations calling on diplomats and world leaders to reject it. Prime Minister Scott Morrison claimed his appointment as a win for the country, saying it is “the most senior appointment of an Australian candidate to an international body for decades”.

The OECD has been one of the world’s most important international economic institutions for 60 years.

Don't even know what it means

The loonie left and all the💧's are well and truly triggered today. Tis a great day

our new Aussie in charge - he was Minister for Finance when the department of Finance steam cleaned a rape crime scene inside Australia's parliament house. Will he be allowed time off if he is called back to face charges of destroying evidence?

Excellent achievement - well done Matias.

There goes the neighbourhood

absolutely ridiculous

If ever I want to completely reinvent myself, rewrite my work history and get a new job all while screwing the planet, the oecd will now be the first place I will apply.

*Australia's longest serving climate change denialist has been elected the new head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). There, fixed it for you.

Well done and good luck
