The family of a Western Sydney grocer believes their loved one would still be alive had lifejackets been made mandatory at a notoriously dangerous rock-fishing spot.
Key points:
Five people have died at the notorious Hil 60 rock platform in Port Kembla in the past month
The brother of one of the deceased says lifejackets should be mandatory in light of the deaths
Wollongong Mayor Gordon Bradbery says lifejacket laws are ineffective without enforcement and education
