his government has a duty to protect citizens and he accuses protesters of hysteria. "What amazes me is that these people respond in this way to the WA government's efforts to protect our public, and say nothing about what's been happening in Queensland or NSW for years and years and years," he says. "I mean, it's lunacy." He has a point. Either the protesters value the lives of West Australian sharks more highly than eastern states sharks, or they value the lives of West Australian beachgoers less than swimmers on the east coast. Just because it agrees with your opinion, doesn't make it great Journalism. Its base less rubbish to be honest. Their is no more fact in that than any other published piece of political press..
Ha, so it only counts when you post a journalists account of the situation?

Drum lines won't do anything, as far as they will not guarantee any personal safety.

Enclosed swimming barriers would, Why does he not precede with that. Roll them out all up and down the coast. That's a guarantee.
That's a well thought out rebuttle jb, I'm sure surfers would agree it'd be effective for them.
jbshack said..The government has a duty to protect citizens? Really than if its the duty, then maybe they should introduce a curfew on water hours. Drum lines is nothing more than lip service, or baby kissing leading up to an election.
Good journalism, what a laugh
Yeah, drum lines are ineffective, just as this report which you conveniently ignore shows;
