Wanna know is some one is a dick...

Ask them about sharks....

Funny as that there are a thousand opinion, none of them educated....

What else would you accept an uneducated opinion on ..., your health?

The shark debate Reminds me of anti vaxers....

Totally agree -IMO at the end of the day a human life is worth a lot more then a sharks .

Should read some of the crap coming up on Facebook . You would swear the 2 blokes out surfing , minding their own business , that took the time to ring police and let them know a shark was around ,had committed a crime . How dare they go surfing on dark , and trespassing into the sharks territory - should be jailed for that one

spot on Tas.

like the time people in WA wanted to take a boat out and cut the baited shark drum lines to save the sharks.

FMD if they're going to that much trouble why not stay in the boat looking for sharks and warning humans.

The whole thing is just a media beat up because they have nothing interesting or credible to write about... The sharks have always been there and its their territory, they are coming closer to shore but thats due to greedy humans depleting their home not only of food but also the environment to cultivate the entirety of the food chain. Mass over fishing is bad but now the F@cking yuppies also decide they need krill oil and chitosan to offset their all the bad sh1t they consume and these are the basis nutrients that the start of the food chain rely on...

Anyway, if you want to be scared of being killed by an animal then you ACTUALLY should statistically be more scared of Dogs, Bees, Cows, Ants, Horses, Mosquitos etc etc Sharks are way way waaaaaay down at the bottom of the list, i think its the idea of the unseen that makes people fearful of sharks... in fact statistically you should be more scared of falling coconuts, lunch, champagne corks, vending machines and beds as statistically these are more likely to kill you


And taking selfies!!

you got it wrong andy


in fact statistically you should be more scared of a champagne cork hitting a vending machine out of a coconut tree and killing you while eating lunch in bed.

Completely incorrect and a poor use of statistics. You have to equate the base of the people at risk in each category.

In the examples' you used, every person on the planet is at risk from Dogs, Bees, Cows, Ants, Horses, Mosquitos' etc etc... With sharks, the only people at risk are deep water users - surfers, divers etc. So 7.2 billion, verses 10 - 100 million. Lets for the sake of this argument say ocean users at risk of shark attack is 72 million, to equate your statistical measures, you would need to multiply the number of shark attacks by 100 to show a fair comparison. In Australia the ratio is more ocean users than average. Probably 1 million of the 22 million population. So the multiple would be 22 not 100.

So on average 10 people a year die in Australia from bee sting. There have been 12 attacks in NSW near Ballina alone this year. On average in Australia, 2-3 people die from shark attack each year. So already, without equating the base of your measure, there are more attacks in NSW than bee sting deaths in Australia, 10 v's 12. Death verses death with an equal base in Australia, 10 verses 44-66.

Mosquitos on the other hand there is no comparison, but billions of dollars are being thrown at that problem.



WTF I feel like I'm back at school,, sorry teach I know where the corner is

i ask the question Andy.
is this a vending machine going in for the kill or a vending machine just wanting to live in its environment.

Yeah. Most people who Quote Stats only prove one thing. People don't understand statistics...

But you're right Tell people in Ballina how stats work..

I'd rather ride a motorbike down the Main Street during a lightning storm wrapped in foil with a golf club above my head then go for an early up there at the moment..

I went for a dive in Tweed river mouth on my own this morning not something I normally do gotta say I was doing a lot more looking behind me sideways and up and down than I normally do. Heres a few pics an old horse off a merry go round, a little goby thats made a home for himself in an old annenome shell. a flatty and a set of old scales. I took my longboard but the northerly killed it.

The culling question is an interesting one.
Many seabreeze experts say it wont work.

if thats the case why do they need to protect gws.

Where culling methods decades ago more effective
