I don't think we have any regular perth dwellars. That's right over on the western side of the country.

Interestingly, the mans' family have said they don't want the shark killed.

It's not legal to do so anyway if it's a Great White as has been suggested.

Very sad news, but compared to the number of people killed in car crashes over the Christmas period, one shark death is hardly worth talking about.

That's the thing about it for me. No one runs around saying, 'let's get rid of all the cars' just because someone dies in a crash and yet when someone gets taken by a shark the same crap starts up again.

It's unlucky to get taken, but if you're sharing the environment then that's the risk you take.
