Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demander podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
The pub test top.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Test does not past the pub test, hub test test
sub test, the test doesn't pass the swift test.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Stop it, it's not helpful.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Shark culling does it pass the pub test.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
The waters are pretty terrifying at the moment.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Four shark attacks in forty eight hours.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It has been horrendous.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Not not fatalities, but there have been a number of
fatalities this year and last year. Increased numbers, but some
say and scientists are saying, there's not increased numbers of sharks,
but the water's temperatures are shifting and they're bringing them
in different parts of the beach. More people are swimming,
so the population increases. Therefore people are coming in sharks.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
We used to serve it up as flake. I'm not
saying we go back to those days.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
That wouldn't have taken care of all the numbers. If
you think there are you know a number.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Of commercial fishermen can't hunt them any more, and recreational
fishermen can't kill.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Them anybody, but we have shark nets at many beaches.
Who was discussing the culling tony habit right to well,
he spends.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
A lot of time in the water. I spent a
lot of time in the water as well. I remember
one time I was at a remote beach and I
saw a mako shark in the surf.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Are they nasties?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think a mako or mancha not as aggressive as
a bull shark. But still I said to myself, if
you stay over there, mate, and I'll stay here, we'll
be okay. The problem is at the moment with all
the murky waterblem.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Was that sharks don't speak English.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We can't. You can't see the shark yes, and the
bull shark goes off sense. They've got incredible senses, so
they can work. You know, they'll just go and chomp
into everything. They're not necessarily man eaters. They don't want
to eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
If you get in the way, you're there exactly. Okay.
So do you think we should be killing culling the sharks?
Shark culling? Is it past the pub test?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Not a good idea at all.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Why are we killing the sharks for living in their
own environment? Where are they going to go? I think
we're the problem because we're commercially fishing all of their
food sources in the deepest So what are they doing.
Of course they're coming into wherever they can find some
food source and mistaken identity. Oh it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
They live in the water, we live on land. Leave
them alone. I'm very against it. Can I say that
because they've been there for over four hundred and fifty
million years, it's their territory. If you go to Africa,
there is a chance you could get beaten by line.
If you enter the water, there's a chance you're going
to get beaten by shark. And if you stand on
some random train station, there's a chance you're going to

(02:25):
get attacked by human. So what do we do? Do
we just call everything? I think Tony Abbott should stick
to eat.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Onions and use those years of these to listen to
real servers.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
The government should spend some money on drones and tag
and release. I don't agree with.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Culling shark education. That's when it comes down. The water
is dirty, don't go in and education.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Don't eat a raw onion like it's an apple.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Then's the blood it gets.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
The ring of confidence
