 Alfred Deakin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Deakin (3 August 1856 – 7 October 1919) was an intellectual leader of the movement for Australian federation and second Prime Minister of Australia, born in Melbourne, Victoria, the son of English immigrants.
Deakin was a supporter of closer empire unity, serving as president of the Victorian branch of the Imperial Federation League, a cause he believed to be a stepping stone to a more spiritual world unity.
Alfred Deakin was almost universally liked, admired and respected by his contemporaries, who called him "Affable Alfred." He made his only real enemies at the time of the Fusion, when not only Labor but some liberals such as William Lyne reviled him as a traitor.

 Alfred Deakin
Alfred Deakin was so idealistic that when he was first elected to the Victorian Parliament, he resigned immediately because he believed that administrative bungling of the poll had given him an unfair advantage.
Deakin's youthful idealism reflected his wide reading of romantic 19th-century literature, which dwelt on the days when knighthood was in flower.
Deakin's Factories Act became a model for all the colonies and probably aroused the enthusiasm of his new wife 'Pattie' Browne, whom he married against her wealthy father's opposition.

Deakin took a much bolder tone and spoke of the difficulties the colonies had in dealing with the British ministry, and instanced the dispatches relating to New Guinea and the New Hebrides.
By many people Deakin's action is considered to be the one blot on his career, but the statement of one of his biographers that "dislike of Reid and anxiety lest a truce should prove harmful to protection induced him to break his compact" scarcely covers the whole ground.
Deakin was a great Australian and a great man. He began as a dreamer, he was always an idealist, yet he realized that he was in a world of men who had to be lived with.

All members of the ministry are also members of the Executive Council, a body which is (in theory, though rarely in practice) chaired by the Governor-General and which meets solely to endorse and give legal force to decisions already made by the Cabinet.
Until 1956 all members of the ministry were members of the Cabinet.
The growth of the ministry in the 1940s and 1950s made this increasingly impractical, and in 1956 Robert Menzies created a two-tier ministry, with only senior ministers holding Cabinet rank.

He joined the Munro (q.v.) ministry in November 1890 as minister of defence and of education, but withdrew when the ministry was reconstructed under Shiels (q.v.) in February 1892, because he was unable to agree with Shiels's adhesion to the "one man one vote" principle.
His health compelled his frequent absence from debates, but he was still a power in the house, and his speech against the proposal of the Peacock (q.v.) government that there should be a convention to consider the reform of the Victorian parliament, was largely responsible for it being laid aside.
He then formed a ministry with himself as premier and attorney-general which lasted nearly three and a half years until 1 November 1860, when he was made a puisne judge of the supreme court.

Isaac Isaacs, who, as one of the nine Ministers, as Attorney-General, in the second Alfred Deakin Ministry, continued to carry on a large private practice (until going onto the High Court in July 1906).
The sole criticism directed at him for continuing to practice, from a few members of the Parliament, was due to one of his clients being the State of South Australia (holding a retainer for it in relation to use of the waters of the Murray River for irrigation, navigation etc.).
However, as Deakin noted in his support of him in the House of Representatives, Isaacs' predecessor as Attorney-General in the Reid administration, Josiah Symon, had likewise been retained by South Australia - and no objection had then been taken.
