A man has drowned at a NSW beach, as police and emergency services urge people to take greater precautions amid a heatwave

A man has drowned at a NSW beach, as police urge residents and visitors to take care in the water amid predictions that warmer temperatures will continue throughout the weekend.

It is believed a man, aged in his 60s, was receiving CPR from a member of the public when ambulance staff arrived at the beach, and that a rescue helicopter also attended. The Sussex Inlet and District Surf Life Saving Club patrols a northern section of the three kilometre beach, but it is understood the man was pulled from a location towards the southern end.

The state’s deputy commissioner of emergency management Peter Thurtell said while he advised people to avoid the sun during the hottest part of the day, large crowds were still expected to make their way to beaches, rivers, lakes and swimming pools across the state.

NSW Premier won’t use Kids Future Fund for his own seven childrenNew South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet has confirmed he won’t be investing in his Kids Future Fund pledge when it comes to his own seven children. Under the pledge, every child in the state would get a dedicated savings fund to spend on education and housing when they turn 18. When asked during a media conference on Thursday, the Premier said, “I won’t be taking it up, I already have accounts for my kids – every one of them”. But will still be sucking the tax payer dry in an attempt to buy votes. Liar, but anyway, he's likely to have already siphoned off plenty, he's not a con's for nothing. It's only for the wealthy so... yes he will. It's the Liberal way.
