Green MP says Govt MPs are worse than Adolf Eichmann!!

A speech in Parliament by Green MP Steve Abel which is so deranged, that it should make him inadmissible for ministerial office. In response to the bill which simply states climate change policy is to be formulated by Parliament, not the courts, Steve Abel said:

There’s a concept that was conceived by a philosopher called Hannah Arendt. She came up with the concept of the “banality of evil”. She described the character of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi who participated in the Holocaust. It strikes me that those corporate bosses today—and, frankly, complicit politicians—are a truer form of the banality of evil, because though they will never personally come so close, as Eichmann did, to transporting human souls to the gas chambers, collectively their actions are far more consequential. They are gassing our whole planet towards an inconceivable human and animal death.

This is simply outrageous. The media should be all over this. He actually says Government MPs who vote for this law are more evil than Adolf Eichmann. It is an absolute insult to victims of the Holocaust that he trivialises their slaughter by saying Government MPs are comparable to Eichmann.
