A local politician has used a community town hall meeting on flood impact to urge the NSW government to raise the wall at Warragamba Dam, saying those who oppose it are "pontificating".
"Those who tend to oppose raising Warragamba Dam, in my opinion, tend to do it from a place of relative safety, high and dry and out of harm's way, and pontificate to my community, who physically bear that existential risk every year," Nathan Zamprogno from the Hawkesbury City Council said on Thursday night.
