Surfer attacked by shark near site of last month’s fatal mauling on a swimmer by fifteen-foot Great White; hit follows warning by shark expert, “It’s a dangerous time to surf!”

"WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SURF IN FLOODED AREAS OF AUSTRALIA RIGHT NOW."

The level of shark activity in Australia is, how do you say, off the hook, off the charts?

How would you describe it?

Last month a swimmer was bitten in half by a fifteen-foot Great White at Little Bay, a few clicks north of Maroubra Beach; today a surfer had to fight off a shark at Maroubra.

Yesterday a swimmer was rammed by a Great White at a popular surf beach in Western Australia; a few weeks ago a girl on an inflatable toy was bitten in the guts by a Great White, in September last year, a surfer was killed near Coffs Harbour; a few months before that another surfer was killed in a shallow-water attack by a Great White at Tuncurry a few hours south; before that, fifteen-year-old Mani Hart-Deville at Wooli, dead, Rob Pedretti, Kingscliff, dead, Laeticia, dead, Gary, dead, Sharpy, dead, Paul, all dead. Killed by Great Whites in the space of a couple of years.

Shortly before the latest attack, over on Instagram @sharkgirlmadison was warning of the likelihood of attacks, not by Great White, but by Bulls.

“IT’S A DANGEROUS TIME TO SURF. Please be safe. Tag a surfer friend…”

That is an ugly thing and the thought of meeting those teeth in action, plain terrifying.

Not typically too political . BUT I now feel the pull to support the right(only semi-fucked up) as what is coming out of the Biden administration is troubling me enough to buy more ammo and wonder what the fuck their agenda is as Psaki lies and twists with every word!

I’d say you’re 90% correct about People not having control. But there’s still a 10% of power on people’s hand. They can still get organised and pressure the politicians. And it’s even a demand that doesn’t involve loss of profits, so it shouldn’t be that hard to make the crooks agree with it. Even an argument can be made that controlling the shark population can be beneficial for costal communities, especially the ones with tourism as part of their economy, etc. Making the crooks shine their eyes.

It could have been a case of mistaken identity.
Sydney surf scene is full of Pusey’s after all.

Maybe more demand for Shark Fin soup? Could be a win for Surfers?

Serious question. How come Australian people don’t get together to pressure the politicians to do something about this shit? You fucken pussies just watch as if you had no power to intervene? Isn’t it time for people to get together and demand change? Or you have been so brainwashed that anything that relates to a collective makes you scared because ohhh uuhhh communism. For fucks sake, get everyone involved and start pressuring the fucken politicians. Surfers, beach goers, fishermen, etc. Fuck. You put them there to work for you for fucks sake.

COVID was just a weapon. A virus that was weaponized and used to push forward with the neoliberal agenda. This agenda that makes people believe they are better off alone. That they don’t need anything else but themselves, isolated, working hard to enjoy their prison I mean, freedom.

Maybe the 95% of people in Australia who don’t surf don’t give a shit about sharks doing what sharks do in their natural habitat. Sure some surfers care but most people don’t surf or dive or whatever else makes them prone to attacks. Here in California there are lots of attacks north of Pt Conception but there is no real call for action. If it starts happening in Huntington or San Clemente or anywhere in the OC that might change. I’m guessing even in Australia, shark attacks aren’t even in the top 10 of what most folks are concerned about.

The 95% can go fuck themselves. The 5% that are affected should get organised and demand change. And once they do those numbers should change. From those 95% that don’t give a shit a lot of them should start giving a shit in solidarity with their fellow countrymen. Unless there’s something burried deep in their minds that makes them oppose their countrymen.

Maybe some sort of anti shark convoy? Get smokie and rubber duckie to join. Sure it didn’t work in Canada and failed even more miserably in the U.S. but you might get a mention on the local news. We got ourselves a convoy ain’t she a beautiful sight. 10-4.

Presumably having a Pyzel now is similar to a Lightning Bolt in Ye Olde Tymes.

P.S.
Come on Dezza, considering that it’s just down the road from you, you should know that Little Bay Beach is ‘south’ of th’ ‘Bra, and more accurately described as Long Bay (jail) adjacent…

P.P.S.
Fuck off sharks, you cunts……

Between the sharks and the pollution and the crazy sized crowds it’s just not safe to be in the water anywhere in Australia!!!

Water like chocolate syrup this morning, was more worried about accidentally swallowing some than anything. Heard somebody had their board bitten up around Hawks Nest too
