More than 300,000 people in northern NSW are subject to evacuation warnings, as Premier Dominic Perrottet says authorities are doing everything possible to get residents to safety.
“We’ve all seen the devastating images of people in the flood zones, in the Northern Rivers. We’ve seen people stranded on roofs for hours, we’ve seen children being rescued, we’re seeing people stranded on bridges,” he tells reporters.
“Importantly, as well, we’re also seeing a community come together in supporting one another, to get everyone through. And that’s the spirit of the people in the Northern Rivers and right across our state.
“We’ll be doing everything, continue to do everything that we can, to get everyone to safety and get these communities right across our state back on their feet as quickly as possible.”
