New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet has made a public apology after it was revealed that he dressed in a Nazi uniform for his 21st birthday party.
Premier Perrottet made the admission via a press conference after receiving a phone call from a cabinet member earlier this week.
The NSW Premier apologised for “hurt” he may have caused and admitted he was young and “naive” at the time.
"When I was 21, at my 21st fancy dress party, I wore a Nazi uniform," he said.
"I'm deeply ashamed of what I did. And I'm truly sorry for the hurt and the pain that it will cause people right across our state."- NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet
"Particularly members of the Jewish community, holocaust survivors, veterans and their families. I'm truly sorry for that terrible mistake."
