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.
