The National Drowning Report 2025 records 357 deaths in 2024–25, a 27 per cent increase over the 10-year average. Over one-third of these deaths involved people born overseas. In this episode, we speak with Harpreet Kandra, a community member in Victoria, who attended the report's release. He describes the new death toll as shocking and a stark wake-up call for migrants to recognise the dangers of being near water.
