Australia s Cormann Voted OECD Head To Dismay Of Green Groups By Eve SZEFTEL

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.
