Shark Management

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:00): Supplementary: given what the minister has just outlined, has consideration actually been given to a review or consideration of the implementation of a management plan, including exclusion zones, to ensure the safe coexistence of marine users and marine species in South Australia?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:01): I thank the member for her supplementary question. I think it's fair to say that there is ongoing review of the approaches. Any shark attack is obviously particularly concerning and where that results in a fatality it is obviously tragic. Fortunately, in South Australia, fatal shark attacks are reasonably rare but, of course, we would prefer that none occur whatsoever. In terms of that ongoing review, I will certainly get an update from my department to see if there is anything that I haven't as yet covered in my answer today.
