The activist group GetUp! and the Australian Greens are demanding Liberal senator Ian Macdonald withdraw comments linking them to the youth league of Nazi Germany.
Senator Macdonald, during a furious debate in Parliament's upper house today, referred to GetUp! as the Hitler youth wing of the Greens political movement.

He stood by his remark when challenged by Greens deputy leader Christine Milne, and Senate deputy president Stephen Parry refused to rule the comment out of order.
Senator Milne said later the Coalition's dirty politics had hit a new low.
"This is an extraordinary abuse of the memories of the countless millions slaughtered by the Nazis and an abhorrent offence to Holocaust survivors and their families," she said.
The Greens will refer both Liberal senators to the upper house privileges committee.
"I have written to the president of the Senate this morning asking him to examine Senator Parry's refusal to rule the slur out of order and pull Senator Macdonald into line with common decency," Senator Milne said.
The Greens also want Liberal leader Tony Abbott to insist his senator withdraw the remark.
GetUp! accused Senator Macdonald of cowardly hiding behind the veil of parliamentary privilege.
Likening the lobby group to Hitler's youth wing was a comparison that carried with it "a weight of hatred and ignorance", the group's national director Simon Sheikh said.
"Parliamentarians and indeed all Australians should condemn the statement as both offensive and a wasteful distraction to the Senate's important work," he said.
GetUp! is making a formal complaint to the Senate privileges committee and has called on the senator to apologise.

ugh, thank god he said it. getup is the biggest shitstain on politics these days. they go around proclaiming they have some moral authority and a massive following (i put down my email for a competition they were running once at uni and now apparently they count me as a 'member', fucking kents), when really no one cares what they say and the only reason they maintain some form of spotlight is due to the left leaning media whores at the SMH.

The senator should absolutely (and probably will) apologize for the comment. Comparing anyone or any group at all to Nazis is not acceptable, irrelevant of whoever it is.

Remember how we should boycott and picket Jewish businesses

getup are pretty benign

but the way the extreme right (ie. entire liberal party and murdoch press and their followers) carry on about them, you'd think they really WERE the gestapo

cosmo likes banjo kazooie
cosmo is a racial realist

therefore every kid who played banjo kazooie growing up is pretty much a white supremacist

also you now realize that banjo kazooie came out 13 years ago

isnt there a disconnect though in your chain of reasoning between white supremacist and racial realist though

cosmo is a racial realist
they mean the same thing according to most dictionary definitions
