A minor party says it will refer the NSW premier to police following his Nazi uniform revelations. Here's why

The fallout from Dominic Perrottet's disclosure he wore a Nazi uniform to a party years ago continues.

But NSW Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party Leader Robert Borsak is arguing Mr Perrottet potentially broke the Oaths Act when he signed a Liberal Party preselection document around 2010 and declared he had nothing to disclose that could embarrass the party."It's long past time that he be held to account; he is not above the law," Mr Borsak said in a statement on Sunday.

Mr Borsak, who is deputy chair of the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, also said he would ask committee members to convene an urgent hearing to "examine the fitness of Mr Perrottet and his actions to remain as Premier of NSW." The memorial was designed to mark the inaugural Raoul Wallenberg Day, which pays tribute to the Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary from certain death by issuing them with a Swedish Government protective travel document of his own invention: a ‘Schutzpass’."We need to do more to educate Australians, all Australians, particularly younger Australians, about the Holocaust and the evil the world experienced in that time," he said.

Get a life society has gone ➿ so what I am sure there is more important stuff than a Nazi uniform in dress ups. For F Sake

Wearing Nazi uniforms is bad, but behaving like Nazis is criminal. Israeli government is a conglomerate of psychopaths and criminals. Jewish diaspora should spend it’s influence ethically.

Get on with the bloody job, you are just like children.

Don’t waste the Police time. We all know it wasn’t illegal to wear a nazi fancy dress costume back then.

If they do I can't wait for the repercussions from the public to the SFP. I for one despise this witch-hunt on Perrotet & BTW did he kill someone as the Neanderthals are treating him like murderer

Wow! The mole hill is getting bigger. Does this minor party have nothing better to do?

Minor party say’s random things to remind you they exist

This Minor party are they trying to appease the Jewish Lobby for possible Donations & votes..?

Leaving aside the question of whether the Oaths Act even applies to this situation, any prosecution would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Perrottet knew that his earlier wearing of the Nazi uniform would embarrass the party. Total waste of police time.

He cannot be tried in a court of law as the incident occured before it was illegal to wear a Nazi costume.

There is an election comming up and of course his oppositors are going to use this during the elections

How stupid politics has become and how stupid are some groups, this happened many years ago, we all have done stupid things in our youth even when adults. Perrottet apologised, he was very sorry for what he did and we all should move on, of course this is political motivated !

Turkey is not a true NATO member it still works with Russia and its greed to make money and not condem Russia WHY? STOP TURKEY NOW.

DEFUND THE ABC AND SBS

LOL SFF… scraping the bottom of the barrel to be relevant. Chowing this as your quest… 🤦🏼‍♂️

This is not a matter for police. How ridiculous.

Just sack him already

🤣a fascist uniform by any other name!

Politics in our country has become a joke. How pathetic and petty.

Serious FFS..

At least Iran has the courage to make their morality police official. Here we just have halfwits claiming to be holding their enemies accountable

Prince Harry did exactly the same thing. He visited a London Rabbi and the a holocaust survivor afterwards and apologised. He said it was the thing he regretted most in his life to this day.

Considering Dan Andrews actually lived Hilter's actions in Victoria. SBS you have the nerve to condemn a 20 year old boy at a party that he had no powers to implement.. Dom_Perrottet needs to defund the SBS.

I've done some stupid things in my younger days, but not that, he's just going to have to 'Suck it Up'

What the hell? How ridiculous.

One problem with this: The Liberal party clearly isn’t embarrassed by their leader wearing a Nazi uniform

Coming from a 3 year Nazi style ridiculous, nonsense directives to force & coercive measures by lunatics in government that think they’re above the law, is a bit rich

It’s getting ridiculous now, and feels like pack mentality. Is this really the best use of taxpayer funds? If voters do t feel the apology was heartfelt, or that he has learnt from it or provided a lesson to others, then I’m sure voters will act accordingly.

This petiness is beyond a joke. Something that happened years ago like a stupid young boy will do, now is like a crime. God help us

There are some people dressing like witches. Should they be burned alive? Enough of this endless “ anti semitic “ witch hunt. Other people need protection, people like Palestinians

Can someone just please find the pictures please

Everyone makes mistakes , Let this go and let him do his job ! As for minor party try doing something positive in your party's life or you will stay A Minor party forever 😜!

Lol….how old is he now? If it wasn’t a crime back then (which it wasn’t), why on Earth are they referring him to police?

He needs to resign not fit to govern

Karen party is it

LOL.

Oh so it’s the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers… are they going to refer themselves to the police for being brainless & also destroying the environment? Oxygen thieves.

The smoking gun ?

Im no fan of the Libs but the NSW shooters, Fishers & Farmers Party must be run by true farknucles that have nothing better to do

Coming from Borsak the misogynistic bully and intimidating nasty bastard

Shooters Fishers Farmers party can simply FOff. He was 21, move on. There’s been politicians that have done far worse more recently.

A minor party? I thought you had to be over 18 to be in politics

perrottet is a maggot but fk off with this crap seriously who cares

political parties at an embarrassment upon themselves. when will we get rid of them?!

At the very least a deliberate surveillance is required for the rest of his parliamentary career. He is privileged to sensitive police investigation into organised groups. Recusal from legal committees must be considered for the safety of police

Was the law against dressing up as a controversial figure in effect in 2003? If not, then no case to answer for.

Yeah ok 🤔🥱

Imagine being referred to police for a party costume. I can't stand this guy but this is scary that our society has become so Orwellian that a costume can get you arrested.

Ìf all 40yo's who did irresponsible and perhaps thoughtless things when they were around 20yo felt they needed to cower in their house, i would suggest there wouldn't be many people walking the streets.

It’s called a statute of limitations you complete and utter bell end

This is just plain silly. Otto Flick The Last Oath Breaker. Coming to a cinema near you. And remember folks: NSW Cinemas, always open for business.

Victoria has actual Nazis in power.

He grew a decent man,is this a joke

Jesus. This is just BS.

Shooters love referring people to police/ICAC. Never results in anything except publicity for them!

Such a pathetic petty country we have become

Absolute shite! If all of us confessed to a act of stupidity in our past; maybe half the adults in this nation quality for jail. Looking for 15 minutes of fame at another's expense; cos, they have nothing concrete to off the nation. Just, bs. Waste of taxpayers money.

While there; they could also enquire as to the legality of their call to charge returning Aussies for Covid quarantine? About $300mil i heard? johnhelmer

This will be another lesson in I justice. The commoner would be charged. Guarantee no case will be found here.

Target for Jews. Playing pretend fames.
