Irvine "Isidore" Perel (1872 – 23 October 1928) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Council. [1]
Perel was born in Ararat, Victoria, [2] to Louis Perel and his wife Elizabeth (née Brand). [1] He was educated in Ararat [1] and worked as an electrician for the PMG in Bundaberg and Townsville. [1] Perel was also editor of the Patriot newspaper in Bundaberg, transferring it to Brisbane in 1893. [1]
When the Labour Party starting forming governments in Queensland, it found much of its legislation being blocked by a hostile Council, where members had been appointed for life by successive conservative governments. After a failed referendum in May 1917, [3] Premier Ryan tried a new tactic, and later that year advised the Governor, Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, to appoint thirteen new members whose allegiance lay with Labour to the Council. [4]
Perel was one of the thirteen new members, and went on to serve for four and a half years until the Council was abolished in March, 1922. [1]
Perel was married twice, firstly to Amy Anna Brooks in 1892, then in 1901 to Henrietta Mary Hurford (d.1968) [5] with his second marriage producing 4 sons and three daughters. [1] He died at his Albion home [2] in October 1928 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery. [6] [7]
