Chris Minns ‘refuses to even talk’ to Hawkesbury Mayor over dam issue

Hawkesbury Mayor Sarah McMahon is calling for the Warragamba Dam to be raised but says NSW Premier Chris Minns “refuses to even talk to me”. “From an economic position I don’t see how investing in raising a dam wall as a mitigation measure does not stack up against all the money the governments are paying every single time it floods,” Ms McMahon told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Every single time we’re costing hundreds of millions of dollars in floods. “And you can’t win mitigation measures first to stop that? “Not only that but as you’ve probably heard over the last few days, Mr Minns refuses to even talk to me on the subject matter.”
