Australia will nominate outgoing Finance Minister Mathias Cormann for the position of secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development .
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Thursday his Government's intention to put the Belgium-born Senator's name forward to take over the helm of the OECD when the current Secretary-General, Angel Gurria, stands down. "Mathias's seven-year experience as our longest-serving Finance Minister, Belgium-born, French-German and Flemish to boot, I think ideally equips him for the challenging role."
"The important of practical cooperation has never been greater whether when dealing with a pandemic, the challenge of climate change, education and skills' needs, the promising challenges of the digital economy and narrowing differences on taxation policy," he said.make a real difference."
He doesn’t have credentials for top job. When world leaders or world media show any respect or ask for their opinion from Australian politicians, NEVER. Only Australian politicians that was recognized and respected all around the world was Kevin Rudd.
Well isn't that a surprise?
Who?MInister for tea break support of the big 4, official cutter of the custurd slice since 2013
Good riddance but I feel sorry for the OECD if it takes on Matthias Cormann.
You cut off Labor's budget response for Scotty to brag about more jobs for the boys. And people say ABC is too far left!?
Hilarious, komish, est cette satire ?
Another jobs for the boys
Corman out, Thorpe in 😂
Mathias Cormann has no credentials for this. He shouldn't be anywhere near the OECD
Of course.
