Several ministers are standing by NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet two months out from state elections after his revelation that he wore a Nazi uniform at his 21st birthday party.
Already hobbled by the retirements of a dozen colleagues, the premier on Thursday disclosed his controversial costume choice amid rumours about the 2003 party.
"I've had a number of colleagues contact me ... and I appreciate their support but ultimately it's not about me. It's about the hurt and mistake that it caused many people across the state," he told reporters on Friday, flanked by outgoing ministers Brad Hazzard and Victor Dominello.
