NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says his Nazi costume scandal isn't about politics

Dominic Perrottet wore a Nazi costume to his 21st birthday party. He was a privileged private school graduate and Sydney University law student. The incident is shocking and embarrassing. Gladys Berejiklian resigned as premier in October 2021.

David Elliott called Premier Dominic Perrottet on Tuesday night to discuss the issue of the Nazi costume. The pair are at odds over Perottets plans to introduce a cashless gaming card for people who want to use pokies in NSW's pubs and clubs. Elliott thinks the laws go too far. Perrttett is not contesting the March election. The powerful lobby group ClubsNSW has already run targeted ads against one anti-gambling MP in regional NSW.

Perrottet, 40, is sorry about wearing a Nazi uniform to his party in 2003. He is now the NSW premier. Jewish leaders condemned him for wearing the uniform. He met Jewish community leaders straight after he went public about it. The next day he said he thought his position as premier was safe. One Holocaust survivor called the Sydney Jewish Museum. Rabbi Benjamin Elton said non-Jews didn't understand the impact the outfit had on his community.

Perrottet wore a Nazi uniform. Rob Stokes stood against him in a partyroom ballot and lost. He's decided not to contest the next election. Perrotto is from the non-dominant right faction. Matt Kean supports him. Max Mosley and Prince Harry were also caught up in Nazi scandals. Neither had to face the public at the ballot box.
