Former New South Wales treasurer Matt Kean's appointment as the Chair of the Climate Change Authority by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ignited a mix of reactions across the political spectrum. Critics argue the appointment was made without due diligence or a formal recruitment process, undermining the independence and expertise expected of the role. Meanwhile, supporters, including the Prime Minister, defend the decision, highlighting Kean's background in a Liberal government and his potential to offer valuable advice to a Labor administration. The appointment, described as a 'left field' and 'very clever manoeuvre' by some, has left members of the Liberal party and its supporters 'disappointed' and 'blindsided,' raising questions about the implications for bipartisan cooperation on climate policy.
