I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Sturt from moving the following motion immediately:That this House:

(1)

condemns the Member for Bendigo for:

(a)

failing to understand the difference between Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, and Australia in 2009;

(b)

displaying a total lack of regard for the sensibilities of Jewish Australians and other minorities in Australia who were persecuted in both Germany and other conquered territories by Hitler’s war machine and found their home in our country after World War II;

(c)

finding a moral equivalence between the death camps of Reinhard Heydrich and the legitimate Parliamentary debate surrounding this Government’s budgetary policy—

and you should be making him apologise for this—

(d)

being unable to comprehend the affront to Jewish Australians and others, who were the target of Hitler’s grotesque policies, in his own electorate of Bendigo—
