The former Liberal Party member, who made his exit from Parliament late last year, will be the Asia-Pacific region’s first head of the Paris-based economic organisation, which represents 37 member countries.
Gerald Butts, vice chairman at geopolitical risk firm Eurasia Group, said the OECD could have chosen leaders who implemented climate policies and carbon prices, calling the move, “Deeply misguided and out of step with the times.” But Liberal MP Dave Sharma described it as an “excellent result” on Twitter, saying Mr Cormann would be “a great asset for the @OECD at a critical time”.

Going GREEN for the OECD? Bewitching concept.
Wow! The OECD like Newscorp must have low standards, to employ this grifter
I’m afraid that does not bode well for our planet’s future. The brigade of old white privileged men prevails.
Shame
The OECD is pathetic
Great blow to the Greens, Labor, and daffodil left wing vegetarians. Excellent choice by the OECD
Corrupt!!
Says it all about OECD.
Pathetic! A back to the future choice!
