总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）在5月12日的新闻发布会上对堪培拉的记者说，查尔顿（Charlton）被任命为科学，技术和数字经济助理的新事工。他将与工业和创新部长蒂姆·艾尔斯（Tim Ayres）合作。

根据阿尔巴内斯（Albanese）的说法，艾尔斯（Ayres）和查尔顿（Charlton）将执行促进新兴技术，科学，技术，创新和数字经济发展进步的政策和计划。

Charlton has shown strong support for the industry in the past. During a speech to parliament last November, he pushed for a balanced regulatory framework that encouraged industry growth.

查尔顿过去对该行业表示强烈的支持。在去年11月对议会的讲话中，他推动了一个平衡的监管框架，鼓励行业发展。

澳大利亚加密交易所Swyftx首席执行官Jason Titman在接受Cointelegraph的讲话时说，Charlton的任命是“对澳大利亚加密货币的绝对好消息”，他希望“区块链行业都在欢呼”。

“Andrew has a deep understanding of blockchain, coupled with a genuine belief in its potential to support the Australian economy,” Titman said. Along with the new assistant treasurer, Daniel Mulino, Titman says he hopes Charlton “quickly pulls the lever on advancing legislation around digital assets,” because the industry has been waiting for “six or seven years for legislative clarity.”

泰特曼说：“安德鲁对区块链有深刻的了解，再加上对澳大利亚经济的潜力的真正信念。” Titman与新的助理财务主管Daniel Mulino一起说，他希望Charlton“迅速将杠杆推广到围绕数字资产的立法来推进立法”，因为该行业一直在等待“六到七年的立法清晰度”。

Vakul Talwar, head of the Australian arm of crypto exchange Crypto.com, said in a statement sent to Cointelegraph that Charlton’s appointment is a further indication of the increasing importance of the digital economy.
