One million fish are estimated to have been killed in New South Wales partially due to the heatwave conditions sweeping across the country.

The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) confirmed the fish found dead in Menindee Main Weir near Broken Hill were killed due to "low oxygen levels especially during extreme conditions such as increased temperatures".
Broken Hill reached 38 degrees on Thursday, its highest March temperature since 2019
