Joseph Sternberg

Joseph Sternberg (c. 1852 13 January 1928) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born in London, the son of Alexander Sternberg, and came to Victoria at a young age, growing up in Rochester. He became a farmer and an auctioneer, the latter in partnership with his brother. In 1880 he married Selina Lazarus, with whom he had two children. In 1891 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council for Northern Province. He transferred to the new Bendigo Province in 1904. Sternberg remained in the Council as a Liberal and then a Nationalist until his death in Melbourne in 1928.[1]
