albert gould

sir albert john gould -lrb- 12 february 1847 -- 27 july 1936 -rrb- was an australian politician and solicitor who served as the second president of the australian senate .
a solicitor , businessman and citizen soldier before his entry into politics , gould was a member of the new south wales legislative assembly from 1882 to 1898 , during which time he served as minister for justice in two free trade governments .
he later served two years in the new south wales legislative council from 1899 to 1901 until his election to the australian senate .
gould 's interest in parliamentary procedure saw him become involved with the relevant standing committee and he was elected unopposed as the second president of the senate in 1907 .
his tenure is remembered as more traditionalist and anglophilic than his predecessor 's .
defeated by the labor nominee in 1910 following the liberal government 's defeat , gould remained in parliament as a backbencher until 1917 , when he retired after he was not re-endorsed by the nationalist party .
he was active in community and religious affairs during his long retirement .
