Valerie Rockefeller -
 "Australian
Government stuck
in the past".
 descendant of America's first billionaire John D Rockefeller, whose fortune was built on oil, has accused the Australian Government of being "stuck in the past" for continuing to defend fossil fuels like coal.

Valerie Rockefeller Wayne is the chair of the $1.1 billion Rockefeller Brothers Fund, a charity committed to social change.

The fund last year joined a growing "divestment" movement by abandoning its investments in coal companies.
