Premier Dominic Perrottet has revealed he wore a Nazi costume to his 21st birthday, apologising for what he described as a grave and terrible mistake.
The 40-year-old told the media about the costume he wore almost two decades ago after it was raised with him by one of his cabinet ministers.
“At that age in my life I just did not understand the gravity and the hurt of what that uniform means to people, not just in our state ... but around the world,” Perrottet said. “I’m deeply ashamed of what I did and I’m truly sorry for the hurt and the pain this will cause for people right across our state, and in particular, members of the Jewish community, Holocaust survivors, veterans and their families.NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet explains to the media he dressed up as a Nazi.“It’s been something that’s personally anguished me, and I have thought of various parts of my life journey, that I needed to raise it.
“When it was raised with me the other day, two days ago, that I needed this truth about this terrible mistake that I made ... [it] needed to be told by me, not by someone else.”
