This morning in the Senate, by way of interjection in the debate on the curtailment of scrutiny of the complex carbon tax bills, I made some comparison between GetUp! and the Hitler Youth. I want to take this opportunity to unreservedly apologise for any offence taken at my remarks by the Jewish community. As for GetUp!, their attempts to stifle debate on the carbon tax in the Senate, through the Greens, demonstrates their political agenda very clearly.
