That’s not what I was gonna ask.

My question was more, how does this appear to be satire?

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

What I’m wondering is… where do you even get a Nazi uniform? Like unless you work in movie props or something. Surely they don’t just sell those in costume shops.

The theme of the dress party was uniforms, and the first thing this guy thinks of is Nazi? Putting aside the obvious, surely there were uniforms that were simply easier to acquire.

Remember Harry got himself one presumably with the help of his servants since he was royalty. Maybe Dominic can blame his brother for forcing him to wear it like Harry too

Go to Helen, GA. There's a shop that usually has one or two for sale at any given time. I bought a wwi German Helmet noodle strainer there.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, dresses like a duck, it probably shouldn’t be the premier of new south wales because it’s a dangerous fascist fuckhead I mean duck

So...30 years ago he wore a Nazi uniform to a party (not a rally) and decided to make this announcement? Seems kind of strange to do this out of the blue. Why bring it up?

It's widely assumed to be a coordinated takedown from David Elliott and the NSW Gambling Lobby.

He should resign. Anyone who makes decisions that dumb should not be allowed to govern.

If you're not showing up with a pineapple and a maid uniform, don't dress up in a Nazi uniform...ever.

Crikey!

He should be denied sausage rolls and Foster's for 25 years as punishment.

Edit: not sure why for the downvotes as this would be considered culturally specific cruel and unusual punishment which is normally only reserve for the likes of Farty Murdoch.

Down voting bc sounds like you think dressing up as Hitler is funny, hence your facetious version of a "punishment".

So... you just believe anything you see on a television commercial, eh? That... and you saw Crocodile Dundee once, no doubt.

Foster's is something like the 20th most popular beer in Australia. It's Australian for "piss water."

Your comment is all kinds of ignorant, if you genuinely care why someone might downvote ya.

So... you didn't want an answer?

Wouldn't life be easier if you tried to communicate better?

You were literally just asking for that...

You're welcome, by the way.
