From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rex Frederick Jackson (7 October 1928 - ) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, representing the Australian Labor Party.

He was Minister for Youth and Community Services from May 1976 to late 1981, and then became Minister for Corrective Services for some two years. He resigned in disgrace on 27 October 1983, and was subsequently sent to prison following conviction on a charge of conspiracy in relation to the early release of prisoners: that is to say he had been found guilty of abusing his office as a Minister.[1]
