Shark Management

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:02): Last supplementary: does the minister accept the anecdotal evidence provided by marine users who are reporting that they are having more and more sightings of white sharks, and that they are creeping closer to our shores where swimmers are at risk of attack?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:03): I thank the honourable member for her additional supplementary question. I have heard the member in public forums, on radio, alluding to this. I haven't had any briefings to indicate that we have had that feedback directly to PIRSA. However, we do have various feedback lines, as I mentioned, and I will get an update from my department on that.
