He volunteered the info at a press conference.
Quote report:

He says he received a call from a colleague two days ago about the incident at the fancy dress party 20 years ago and says he’s “ashamed” of his decision to wear the uniform.

“I’m deeply ashamed of what I did and I’m truly sorry for the hurt and the pain this will cause for people right across our state, and in particular, members of the Jewish community, Holocaust survivors, veterans and their families,” he said.

“I am truly sorry … I am not the person I was when I was 21.”
“When it was raised with me, I didn’t want this difficult truth of a grave and terrible mistake that I made at my 21st birthday party to be told by someone else.“
I felt it was very important it came from me.
“At that age in my life I just did not understand the gravity and the hurt of what that uniform means to people, not just in our state, but around the country and the world.”
“It was a naive thing to do, that was a terrible mistake...I wish I could take it back.”

"and the pain this will cause for people"

A nice change from the standard PR line for celebrities - '...I apologise for any pain I may have caused...'

He has apologised. He was young.
