Former NSW Liberal treasurer Matt Kean has been announced as the new chair of the Climate Change Authority days after resigning from state politics.
Kean’s appointment comes as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has reignited the country’s climate wars by saying he would scrap the government’s legislated 2030 emissions reduction target and build seven nuclear power plants by 2050. “I can only talk about the role that I saw it play as the NSW energy minister in 2019 … I was told the first day on the job that in the next decade … coal-fired power stations would come to an end and we needed a mechanism to replace that capacity. We looked at all options, including nuclear,” he said.
