THE state’s newest and youngest MP was kicked out of a meeting after branding someone a “Nazi”, according to official Liberal Party minutes­.

Taylor Martin, 26, is also alleged to have launched a “vile and intimidating” attack on another fellow party member during a second incident in which he told them to “f ... off back to Sydney”.

The “Nazi” allegations will be a black eye for Premier Gladys Berejiklian as today is Israeli Independence Day and she is set to attend a function tonight to mark the occasion.

Taylor Martin, 26, has been accused of dropping a slur during a Liberal party meeting.

The shocking allegations have Liberal sources questioning the maturity of Mr Taylor, who will today be sworn in as the state’s youngest MP after winning a preselection battle for retired former police minister Mike Gallacher’s seat in the upper house.

Minutes from a January 21 “Central Coast council amalgamation meeting” of Liberal branch presidents held at the Breakers Country Club in Wamberal reveal Mr Martin repeatedly “interrupted” and was eventually asked by the chair, Lois Marshall, to leave.

“Ms Marshall at this point walked over to where Mr Martin was sitting and asked him again to leave,” the minutes state. “Mr Martin said that he wanted a vote. Ms Marshall refused.

Martin denies the exchanges.

Ms Marshall advised Mr Martin that if he didn’t leave, security would be called. Mr Martin and his associates then called Ms Marshall a Nazi and laughed but still refused to leave.”

He later exited after Ms Marshall said the duty manager would remove him.

Mr Taylor last night said he “strongly” denied “ever calling any person a Nazi” but added that he does “apologise for describing a meeting that was getting out of hand with a poorly worded reference”. He also said he left the meeting of his own accord.

Mr Taylor also rejected the other claims, saying “that is not a way that I would have conducted myself”.

A Liberal spokesman said: “The Division is aware of matters relating to the Terrigal Young Liberal Branch that are currently being looked into.”
