Born in Trieste?

[edit]

I have a clear recollection of listening to parliament one day when Dick Klugman was speaking, and he mentioned that he'd been born in Trieste. There's nothing I can find on the web that backs this up. Any clues, anyone? -- JackofOz (talk) 00:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Psephos says here (search for "Klugman") that he was born in Vienna. Perhaps he was referring to visiting as a child or something? Of course, it is possible that Psephos could be mistaken, but as a special note is made (that he was the first person since 1917 elected to the House who wasn't born in the Commonwealth) that seems fairly unlikely.

Thanks. Maybe my memory cells need recharging. If I could remember roughly when this broadcast was, I could check the Hansard. Without a time frame it would be a daunting task ... unless it's possible to search Hansard by keyword without regard to timeframe? -- JackofOz (talk) 12:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. Not being a Hansard expert, I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think so (they're all individual PDF files). You might be able to find all Klugman's speeches though. I have no idea how. Frickeg (talk) 07:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aha! I knew there was something about Trieste. OK, so he wasn't born there as such ... -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 08:25, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This is written by Dick Klugman's widow. He was born in Vienna, but his family was from Trieste. There is some information in a book by Gianfranco Cresciani "Trieste goes to Australia," which has correct information. His parents divorced and his mother Ella Klugman married a man whose surname was Darvas.
