$18000 Fine,Are they serious?

An Australian man who killed a great white shark by ramming it with his boat and beating it with a pole has been fined A$18,000 ($16,000; £9,000).

The 40-year-old man was found guilty of harming a threatened species by a court in New South Wales (NSW) on Thursday.

The incident occurred in January 2012 at Sussex Inlet, south of Sydney. One other man has also been charged.

I'm sorry but that's bloody ridiculous...I hope he appeals!

Agreed.

It should have been at least double.
