I think he's trying to stick he's head into the same topic on the kitesurfing page..... Opps I really need to keep out of this as I know nothing sorry...

Are you still sulking?

You claim to have the answers too.

If you believe that, then give us your answers in the form as outlined above.

Or you can keep sulking.

Once again, southace has done more in reality than you could ever do.

Pissing on people just make you look like a d!ck....

Don't feel bad, you can post highly emotive pictures and videos too.

Have you tagged a shark?

Are you sending emails and phoning fisheries?

If no is your answer then shut it.....

You make me lol, you're like the little yapper dog that sits back and eggs on the others.

You just respond and really have no clue, so lets stop making this a pissing comp...

You dont make me lol at all

There's only a couple of people on here who do claim to have a clue, you're not one of them, so I don't think you're entitled to be so high and mighty.

As for the clued in people, well we're still waiting for their solutions to be presented as a course of action we can follow.

Would I make you lol if I used more emoticons like you?

^^See, oh, no you cant. Im out......

jbshack, your argument that the money spent on this program should be targeted towards medical research is misguided. An organisation has a budget, they have to decide how to allocate it. Your personal circumstances mean you're highly interested in cystic fibrosis and you think that it should be a WA state government priority to research it. Fair enough. Some people think that reducing probability of shark interaction is important. Fair enough. Colin thinks a new quay is important. OK. Moving a sports stadium is important. OK. Having a rail extension to Ellenbrook and another school is not important. Etc. It's not as simple as saying the money for this program should be directed towards your particular interests.

Actually thats not entirely correct. I help raise money for CF and i don't expect any more money. Cancer i would like to see more finding for and i have no issue with that. Burns unit for children, Homeless, that could be better spent and to be honest simply issues like policing could do with more money. BUT MY BIG COMPLAINT IS THE WAY THE MONEY IS SPENT. They waist the money like you wouldn't believe..All in the name of what? SO i can surf. It makes me feel like a leaper to be honest, and thats why it upsets me so much

A few simple questions for you Legion.

DO you like the tagging idea? Are you happy with $1.7 million over the last three years to have tagged 6 sharks. (6 is the number i found on a CSIRO report). Do you agree it would be good to tag a few hundred sharks then give that relevant info to people/public? Would you prefer to know one shark has swum around a bouy ten times, or would you like to know if it was in fact more than 1 shark?

Do you think giving research money to try blowing bubbles under water is good science, but something like Surfsafe (from someone with real surf experience) is a waist of money. Even when he asked for less than 1/6th of what the bubble idea got?

Would you prefer better ariel patrols? Maybe even 10 times more area covered for the same price with closer to 90% accuracy than the current 17%?

I say spend the money, but lets use the money for something other than having nice boats, with nice seats, and tinted windows to avoid glare, and a CD I pod shuffle, x 10 boats..Oh and now the answer is more boats..

But best of all, are you happy with your beaches being chummed and baited Lets be honest even if you want a cull, thats just plain stupid, reckless and could prove very litigious if someone is attacked nearby drum lines for our State Government, and for all my ranting (Yes i admit It) i still think there is a good chance it won't even happen. SO that will be even more moneys waisted..

I think i need to go sand my Knee board down a bit

No and never said I did, but I will suport anyone who has had the experience or is activly trying to get things moving though email, phone calls etc.

Have you done anything other than written reams of text about what you want?

And many of us would like to support those that have a better solution that the Barney crew.

But no course of action is being presented that we can get behind.

Why is this request only met with aggression?

Dont worry the cowboys down south are on your side you really have nothing to worry about. No agression here at all, in fact before you and others started pissing on people it was a good discussion.

Why shouldn't it be about finding an answer?
That's what discussions are for.

And at least two people here have claimed to have the answers, but when pressed for them they refuse to put them forward.

No. Because I think it's probably very hard to tag a white and I surf a lot away from receivers and outside the times when there's someone to let me know a tagged shark is nearby. Great for justifying research programs though.

No. katana's idea might work if he had an academic background. Funding is much easier to procure through university channels.

jbshack said..

No. Again, I am often outside the times or away from aerial.

But best of all, are you happy with your beaches being chummed and baited Lets be honest even if you want a cull, thats just plain stupid, reckless and could prove very litigious if someone is attacked nearby drum lines for our State Government, and for all my ranting (Yes i admit It) i still think there is a good chance it won't even happen. SO that will be even more moneys waisted..

Yeah, I'm happy with it. It's not like they're going to hang a 44 full of cow/sheep/pig carcasses off the beach. If they drum line 1km off shore, that's about 3 times as far as the receivers that are constantly tripping already, so it's not like the big fish aren't already within the beach zone. There's so much more chumming and baiting from recreational and commercial fishers currently anyway. Where Ben Linden got taken, just about every time I'm there there is a couple of commercial cray boats all day long slowly chugging away a couple of hundred metres off the beach. Check that video from a couple of weeks ago of how many big fish are following the cray boats, snavelling down the undersized crays as they're thrown back.

As to the "litigious" comment - why? You and doggie seem to think that this is supposed to be an ironclad guarantee that nothing will happen. Is this a promise they've made? How is the state possibly negligent if a shark attacks someone? I could see maybe if they hung up signs at a particular beach saying "Shark free beach" but that's not remotely what's happening.

Lastly, for all those who are against this - are you happy with every man and his dog(gie) being allowed to go out and pull in a couple of 2' dhuies and snapper every day? Why/why not? How about rays? Bronzies? How about whales? Cows? Turtles?

Show me where the answers have been given in a way in which each of us can lend our support and put forward a comprehensive better solution, to those who make the decisions so that they don't continue on Barney's course of action.

Go back to page 1 and read the first post....if you can see one ?????? I will rest my case!

You still have not answered 1 question us guys have asked you ......so if its about answers why don't you answer us??

I think you have just made this an overnight new interest for you......just to relive you from your daily grind of processing paperwork.

The end.

I have submitted my view.I have submitted solutions.I have spoken with fisheries on several occasions in the last few months. These are my views and they are not imposed or rammed down peoples ears like a religous doorknocker at 7 in the morning on a Sunday. My recommendations are very similair to the proposal put forward in government. I believe I have done something about it. I am now leaving this thread and will await the outcome of decision on selective culling. As a final note drum baits need to be three mile out from beaches and not one kilometre as is getting stated. That's about it from me

How old are you? Can you not read?

Only reason the gov has done anything is because of tourism, havnt you seen Jaws??

Brighton and Scarborough are closed after the Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter sighted 2 three metre sharks 30m from shore tracking south.

They must've been out chumming already on the beaches to attract those two.

Yeah and thanks to the tv, social media it made front page news..Thats what is hurting tourism..

Legion did you know the only reason we started to be told about shark receivers getting set of, was because the state was warned that if they had knowledge of a shark in an area, and someone was attacked they would be open to litigation It had nothing to do with public safety..

But by only give part of the info, they started a huge scare campaign..

Back to my sanding

The end.

Further more I put my solution (answer) on the table after using my experience with tagging GWS and thinking of a way to make it cost effective and more surfer safe rather than feeding all the info to the marine biologists.
The current system is already tested and being applied as we speak but it's not really suitable the way it's set up ATM to warn surfers and beach users.

Your idea was something to do with electro underwater fields that scare the sharks away....great in theory but Unfortantliy for you this technology has not been developed and I'm sure it would take 5 years or more for research and development and I doubt anyone wants to wait that long for some idea of yours that is not even tested.

So yes we have suggested solutions but it just seems you have all the answers and want to bag other people's solutions all from your office desk in the processing plant.
