Take sharks between a certain size, eg 10' to 14'
I've been surfing for 35yrs, mostly in some of the most shark infested waters in Australia, and the world for that matter. Lost 4 good mates to GW attacks and one mate has survived an attack ... had a few close calls myself ... I think culling is a hoax myself, especially now we have a healthy, and building population of GWS. Big sharks have to much mercury so fishermen don't want them, it has to be a cull, again I say we cant take all other fish and protect the pointer, how many surfers have to be eaten before the fisheries department do something. You do know what fisherman want to use sharks this size for don't you? And do you realise how many are already caught by long liners as bycatch but can't be legally used, even though they do get used out in the open ocean away from prying eyes? Give you a tip, swordfish love a bit of GW. Culling has never worked and will never work with an ocean species in the big, wide ocean ... it might work for roos and goats and buffalo etc on a two dimensional plane but not in a three dimensional habitat that is the ocean. Culling can be done easy with drum lines, they work a treat, or by luring them in like they do in Pt Lincoln for the tourists and then put a hole in their heads, a 44 would do the trick. How do you fillet and store a 15ft shark to use as bait for sword fish Fez? Or, don't go in the water. Simples! Don't go walking down mall either without bollards either. I'm not asking for cars to be "culled". Understand the difference?  One fish species are becoming a real threat and they should be dealt with accordingly, Cull Cull Cull. Stay out of the water, and they pose no threat whatsoever. You're carrying on like an hysterical schoolgirl. Maybe if you'd get in the water for a swim once in a while your health wouldn't have deteriorated so dramatically. I was swimming in the ocean, in Femantle, for a few hours yesterday before having lunch on the beach. I know the risks when going in the water, and I take full responsibility. If I'm taken by a shark, none of my family are going to get hysterical and demand that all sharks be killed. Similarly, if one of my family is taken I won't be calling for revenge. That's the difference between reasonable, well-informed, rational people and imbeciles. Being eaten alive puts the wind up any rational person. Absolutely. In order to avoid it, though, one simply refrains from going into the ocean. Simples!
