Water Minister grilled after woman killed at Penrith Weir
A NSW Minister is committing to adding a line of warning buoys to Penrith Weir after a number of tragedies.
Days after mother of two, Emily, died on Australia Day, another group of boaters were involved in a near-tragedy on the Nepean River in Penrith.
NSW Lands and Water Minister Kevin Anderson told Ben Fordham temporary buoys were added last night after permanent marker buoys were damaged about a year ago.
“I’m pretty cranky at the fact that it took so long to get them back there.
“We’ll have those discussions about a permanent line of marker buoys that will stretch the length of the river.”
