Australia s Cormann Voted OECD Head To Dismay Of Green Groups By Eve SZEFTEL 03/12/21 AT 4:01 PM Former Australian finance minister Mathias Cormann was elected Friday as the new head of the influential Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, sources told AFP, in a choice that dismayed environmental campaigners. The 50-year-old Belgian-born politician was chosen by a slim majority during a meeting of ambassadors to the OECD, which acts as a think-tank and club of democratic countries, the sources close to the organisation said. Cormann served as Australia s finance minister for seven years until late 2020, a record for the country, having been first named to the job by right-wing premier and climate change sceptic Tony Abbott in 2013.
