Former New South Wales treasurer and Liberal MP, Matt Kean, recently made headlines as he was named the new Chair of the Climate Change Authority. Known for his vocal stance on climate issues, Kean's appointment by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations across party lines. Despite his background in the Liberal Party, Kean's dedication to environmental advocacy has positioned him as a key figure in Australia's climate change efforts.

With his experience as a former Energy Minister, Kean brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role, promising to drive significant benefits for households and the environment. His appointment signifies a unique bipartisan collaboration, with Labor recognizing Kean's expertise and appointing him to lead the country's top climate advisory body.
