Alfred Deakin describes Isaacs in the later 1890s as follows: 'A clear, cogent, forcible and fiery speaker, he set himself at once to work to conquer the methods of platform and parliamentary debate and in both succeeded.
Deakin says that this was due to 'a plot discreditable to all engaged in it', that Isaacs was antagonized and humiliated, and that his 'tendency to minute technical criticism was sharpened so as to bring him not infrequently into collision' with the drafting committee.

 Second uni on black list in Indonesia - National - theage.com.au
Soon after Deakin University was effectively fl-listed by Indonesia over the work of two academics, a spokeswoman for the Indonesian Ministry of National Education, Nur Samsiah, said it had also cut ties with RMIT University.
She said all co-operation between the ministry and the two universities was "on hold" and a proposal was being considered to suspend the accreditation of Indonesian students taking courses at either university, which would effectively stop them studying there.
Deakin University vice-chancellor Sally Walker said she supported Dr Burchill and Dr Kingsbury and the institution would always back the right of its academics to publish material in their areas of expertise.

The first of those rules is often referred to as cause of action estoppel, the second as issue estoppel, and the third as Henderson v.
The second would only be a possible result if the judge had decided that the tenancy had somehow been extinguished; and the only route to that result would have been by an application of the doctrine of proprietary estoppel.
It did so, however, on the basis that, on the facts, the open market rental value of the premises was not the correct measure of the value of the benefit received by the particular trespasser.

 Andrew Fisher Summary
Fisher was Minister for Trade and Customs in the Watson government in 1904, and established himself as one of Labor's most prominent leaders, with a reputation for financial knowledge and "soundness." When Watson retired in 1907, Fisher was his natural successor as Labor leader, although Billy Hughes also wanted the position.
Fisher's 1910-13 ministry carried out many reforms, such as establishing old-age pensions, forming the Royal Australian Navy and issuing Australia's first paper currency.
But his two attempts, in 1911 and 1913, to carry constitutional referendums to give the government power to regulate monopolies and industrial conditions were rejected by the voters, and at the 1913 elections Labor was narrowly defeated by the Liberals, led by Joseph Cook.
