Lack of green credentials
I wonder if those who appointed Mathias Cormann the next secretary-general of the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Development and Co-Operation checked whether he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he pledged to promote ambitious action on climate change.

Emulate EUâs approach
The European Union is serious about carbon levies on countries with weak emissions laws (The Age, 11/3). Why should their industries do the âheavy liftingâ in reducing emissions while big polluters (like Australia) sell their goods with impunity? Unlike Australiaâs government, the EU recognises the gravity of the worldâs position and is constantly expanding its climate action goals. In the meantime, Scott Morrison will blame the resultant loss of profits for Australian exporters on the EU, not his recalcitrant government.
