He served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1910 to 1934, representing the Labour Party. He was Minister for Health and Minister for Repatriation in the Scullin government from 1929 to 1931.
OLD JEWRY
There was a time in the history of the British race when the jobber pursued his gambling in Change Alley or the Jews’ Walk, in the surreptitious manner of the accursed. He had one eye on the speculative customer and the other on the passing police. The Jew Medina came in the train of William the Dutchman. He gave Marlborough £6,000 a year for the first tips of victories in France or Flanders. All the tricks bound up in rising and falling prices, lying reports from the seat of war, the pretended arrival of couriers, the formation of financial cliques to work the market, cabals and connivings behind the scenes, the whole system of Mammon’s Wheels—Medina, the father, knew them well, and worked them to the full. His successors have amplified his methods.
After Medina came the Jew, Manessah Lopez. He amassed a fortune in the panic which followed the false news that Queen Anne was dead. He “bought on the slump and sold on the rise.” Then came Samson Gideon and the Goldsmids—Abraham and Benjamin. These were succeeded by the Rothschilds.’
