Talk:Isaac Isaacs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Critics of the appointment were careful to say that they had no opposition to Isaacs personally, and the fact that he was Jewish was never mentioned, but there is no doubt that currents of personal dislike of Isaacs and of anti-Semitism ran beneath the debate."
The exact same political establishment and King had created a Jewish politician Marquess of Reading only 4 years before. Can we have a source for this anti-semitic bias against Issacs.

[edit] Isaac Isaacs?
That can't possibly be his real name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.247.136 (talk) 15:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date of death - 11th or 12th February?
Apparently he died in his sleep on the night of 11/12 February 1948.
ADB dates his death to 11 February, as do the Victorian Parliamentary website and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Handbook.
The National Library has 12 February.
This well-documented site says it happened “on the morning of the 11th”. But if it occurred after midnight, it would seem to be the morning of the 12th, not the 11th.
So, where does that leave us? We may need to get hold of his death certificate to be sure of the date. In the meantime, since the official sources all say 11th, I'm changing the article. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
