Easson, Newhouse, Turnbull and The Jewish Community
In late August 2007, Easson was reported in The Australian Newspaper as disappointed with the Wentworth Jewish Community who were, according to Easson, interfering with the redistribution changes made in Wentworth by favouring the Liberal Candidate: Malcolm Turnbull, opposed to George Newhouse, the Labor Candidate. In The Australian, Mr Easson commented that he was "both impressed by Turnbull's ability to solicit support within the Jewish community but also disappointed that the various representatives chose to 'buy in' to an argument affecting the second-most marginal Coalition-held seat in NSW".

Famous quotes containing the words jewish and/or community:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
