Malcolm Turnbull s NSW climate appointment compromised by skittish Liberal backbenchers

Advertisement Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean had been searching for months for a way to bring former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull into the NSW government tent. Last year Kean, who is close to Turnbull and often seeks his policy advice on renewable energy, nominated him as NSW’s pick for a position on the board of the Australian Energy Market Operator, AEMO. Turnbull’s nomination, sent to federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor for approval, was unsurprisingly knocked back. There is no love lost between the pair. NSW Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean said he ‘overreached’ with the Turnbull appointment.

Malcolm Turnbull dumped: How NSW role ended

“The focus should not be on personality,” Kean said in a statement. “Malcolm Turnbull AC has contributed much to our country and I know will contribute more into the future. “However, no person’s role on the board should distract from achieving results for the NSW people or from the government’s work in delivering jobs and opportunities for the people of NSW.” Advertisement Turnbull’s appointment had been several months in the making and Kean had sought the backing of some ministers, including Deputy Premier John Barilaro, before taking his plan to cabinet. In the cabinet meeting, sources say Premier Gladys Berejiklian was enthusiastic, insisting Turnbull was highly qualified for the job, while Elliott pondered whether there were any potential conflicts of interest given Turnbull’s business interests.

MP calls for minute silence on Australia Day

Australia Day has become the most controversial date in the calendar, polarising those who want to celebrate the arrival of the First Fleet on these shores and those who say it sparked an era of untold suffering for First Nation people. Now Zali Steggall, Warringah MP, has called for councils across Australia and in her electorate to include a one minute s silence on January 26, in recognition of indigenous Australian lives that have been lost since the first Europeans arrived. There should be a formal recognition of the loss, hurt and sorrow felt by our indigenous community on January 26, Ms Steggall said.
