Myer Rosenblum

As lawyer Rosenblum's legal career has been reported as uneventful except his 1959 decision, as principal of the law firm M Rosenblum & Co, to employ a 19-year-old called John Howard as an articled clerk at the pay of £6 a week. Howard went on to become the 25th and second-longest serving Prime Minister of Australia More than a decade before his ascent to Prime Ministership, Rosenblum – a lifelong supporter of the Australian Labor Party – said Howard "would have made a wonderful Labor leader of the Ben Chifley type – you know, a thoroughly honest man of the people." He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours of 26 January 2001.

Personal life Rosenblum was an accomplished bassoon and contra-bassoon player and won a scholarship to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. In his later life, Rosenblum assisted Moriah College, the Australian Jewish Welfare Society and other sporting and charitable organisations. Rosenblum died of a heart attack on 18 April 2002.
