From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralph Jacobi AM (born December 4, 1928 - died 16 January 2002[1]) was a long-serving Australian Labor Party representative for the South Australian Division of Hawker in the Australian House of Representatives. He served from October 25, 1969 to his retirement on June 5, 1987.[2]
Before parliament, Jacobi was employed in the merchant navy and in trade union office. Jacobi had an interest in Australian Law, and during his term in parliament made a contribution to the Australian Law Reform Commission.
In 1987, knowledge of Jacobi's condition of lymphatic cancer became known, consequently nearly all members of the House of Representatives signed a petition for him to be appointed to the Order of Australia.
