Hyman Goldstein (politician)

Hyman Goldstein was a prominent figure in Australian politics, serving as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. His political career spanned several years, during which he represented two distinct constituencies. Initially, he was elected to represent Eastern Suburbs from 1922 to 1925. Following a brief period out of office, Goldstein returned to the Assembly in 1927, this time representing the Coogee constituency.

Goldstein's tenure in office was marked by a notable rivalry with Thomas Ley, a fellow Nationalist politician who held a federal seat. The animosity between the two men was well-documented, and Ley's later conviction for murder in England has led many to speculate about his potential involvement in Goldstein's untimely death in 1928. Goldstein's passing occurred while he was still in office, representing the Coogee constituency. Despite the circumstances surrounding his death, Goldstein's contributions to Australian politics remain a part of the country's legislative history.
