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".
