Got to love the thumb brigade, big and strong in 2014!
So I wonder if the "preventative measures", taken on the Gold Coast for example, are in any way a placebo and/or liability driven...

hahahaha i love the thumb brigade husq it just restores my belief some people are just gutless hahahahaha
placebo you funny.
ok lets keep it simple, states attack/deaths with drums to states attack/deaths without drums.
Invite me to a protest against the killing and maiming of my fellow watermen/women and I will be there.

Keeping it simple like that will give a false result. But if it helps support your argument rock on.
Just spend a week surfing and kiting from Margaret River to Lancelin. Every spot I went to which had a bit of reef close by were littered with cray pods. For those who do not know cray pots get stocked with dead fish and scraps as bait. With so much burley out there already I seriously doubt if a few baited hooks will make much of a difference.

I am jumping in saying that these "deterrents" do not work. Here is my advice to WA government.
Suggesting that they do work because there hasn't been a fatality at these beaches is crap. They don't do these deterrents around thousands of locations in Aus who also have not had a fatality. Using the same logic me chanting twinkle twinkle at these locations also prevents shark attacks.
In response to your proposal to bait shark lines off metro Perth beaches. Please reconsider not only for the fact that this could result in culling of an endangered species but also for the fact that this will result in a potential enormous legal liability issue for the WA State government. The reality is that you will not keep people out of the water enjoying the beautiful beaches, particularly with summer conditions and events such as "the Doctor" ski race on in January. Your proposal to bait hooks will attract sharks (as it's intended) however I put it to you that what will the government's response be if you have attracted the sharks but before they are hooked, they kill a person in the water. If this happens then the logical and probably legal response would be to suggest that the government has contributed to the fatality and should pay compensation, whether this legal argument is substantiated in courts is irrelevant when the media run the story.
I strongly suggest you find a more sustainable solution not just for the significant weight of scientific evidence suggesting that it won't work but also for the potential media and legal ramifications of significantly increasing risk to swimmers while baits are in place.
Um those words again...suggestions pffft culling,come on how is it culling? More propaganda and not any substance again....the guys over here on the goldy run the 12 towers race....nobody eaten yet...if we did not have preventive measures that we have in place,well maybe it could be the other way....propaganda goes both ways
Sorry to reactivate an old thread, but after reading through the whole things i was interested to know what you were basing your facts on chrispy... I too am from the Gold Coast, but I'm on the complete opposite side of the argument to you
And do you still say that the WA Cull wasn't a cull? and even if you don't see it as a cull, what about queensland with its 344 drumlines and 35 nets, killing 400-500 sharks every year, often undersize or not target species, not to mention the bycatch?

So tell us about the so called bycatch ?
Ok I just spent the last 3 months live baiting for tuna and cobia off a few local rock ledges!
the amount of sharks I see and what they do to many a fishermans dream catch is nature at its best
Yes the odd bogan crew comes out and catch
a few sharks!
and u know what good on em they fillet and clean there catch and don't discard it,and are passionate about eating shark( what do the drum liners and gov funded boats do wit there shark captures?)
**** a duck these men in grey suits have a lots of mates and there is plenty of fish around to keep the sharks happy there seems to be few rouge ones here and there that attack humans yes cull them but how many humans die to other humans everyday not much human culling going on ay!
**** a duck I surf 300 metres away from where I fish I've never seen a shark in the line up in 24 years I could of gave a few of these fellas a tickle on the nose over the years still won't stop me getting in the water
