Australian politician (1856–1919)

Alfred Deakin was an Australian politician, statesman and barrister who served as the second prime minister of Australia from 1903 to 1904, 1905 to 1908 and 1909 to 1910.
He held office as the leader of the Protectionist Party, and in his final term as that of the Liberal Party.
He is notable for being one of the founding fathers of Federation and for his influence in early Australian politics.

Deakin v Webb was one of a series of cases concerning whether the States could tax the income of a Commonwealth officer.
The High Court of Australia overruled a decision of the Supreme Court of Victoria, holding that the States could not tax the income of a Commonwealth officer.
This resulted in conflict with the Privy Council that was ultimately resolved by the passage of Commonwealth law in 1907 to permit the States to tax the income of a Commonwealth officer.
The constitutional foundation of the decision was overturned by the subsequent decision of the High Court in the 1920 Engineers' Case.
