cRAZY Canuk said...Lobes said...Just to play the devils advocate..."Stepped on Wobbegong" doesnt sound as good as "Great White attacks from underneath"
"The victim has signed an exclusive deal with Channel Nine, a NSW Health spokeswoman said. "
The Surfwatch guy didnt actually see the shark, he saw "a bit of the tail". Somethings obviously happened out there but lets see where this goes.
Tail of a Wobbagong is pretty different from a GWS - though I guess it depends on how much of the "tail" he saw
From the ABC article,
"Mr Brown said he believed the animal was a two-metre-long great white shark.
As the director of SurfWatch Australia, an organisation that patrols for sharks and charges people for helicopter joyrides, Mr Brown has been agitating against the State Government for greater protections against sharks.
After three attacks in Sydney last year, he accused the Government of ignoring an email that had warned of a sharp increase in shark numbers"
Sounds to me like this guy is just like that old tool Vic Hislop. People who use the publics fear of sharks to stir up media for their own misguided gains. Best protection against sharks is to stay out of the water, otherwise you take your chances.
