Seriously. Where do sharks live? We are all naive if we think an increasing population wont stir sharks up. Its common sense.

This ch31 show is sh*t. Very amateur and badly produced
Coughhereherecough.....

The hysteria in mass media is ridiculous. Frankston beach closed over an unconfirmed shark sighting, let's throw in a few great white images to stir up the masses. Whale carcass on a peninsula back beach. Mass media pleading for people to be vigilant, 90% of people are swimming 30+km away INSIDE the bay. Kramer goes stupid on a FISHING show, where most viewers should hopefully have a brain big enough to realise we aren't at Cottesloe beach, or the gold coast canals, or swimming around the Neptune islands. Oh what a Wobbegong is going to bite someone's foot or leg? We have shark bay in port Phillip, no sorry safety beach for crying out loud

i flew drones for Emergency Management Victoria to find sharks when there were a few sightings this time last year and over the summer. Even with the help of the westpac helicopter we couldn't even find a shark to film with the drone lol. They are not that common just over reaction from media and government has to act. within a year or two max we will have drones patrolling the flagged beaches automatically and will alert the life savers if one in the area. If it make the public feel safer great, but in reality shark attacks are rare, probably more things to worry about accept seeing the video going around at the moment with the great white nudging the spear fisherman in the head, damn never seen anything like it.

...I've heard rumours of Tiger Sharks as well. Even as a kid I cant remember the bay being as healthy as it is at the moment....I guess as the ecosystem recovers, the more fish we'll get in the bay.
