  6. I swam in the #ocean at Umina Beach yesterday, and I hope to swim there again today - and I say NO MORE SHARK NETS. We don't need them because they don't work and because THEY KILL OUR ENDANGERED WILDLIFE. #auspol #nswpol for nature's sake get rid of those nets.

    Now is your chance to show your disappointment that shark nets are returning to NSW waters for the 23/24 season. 
     
    You can help by sending a fax to the NSW Premier to ask for an end to cruel shark nets. You don't need a fax machine, and it only takes 1 minute to send one using this nifty online tool.

  8. Yesterday, I went to a protest at #Terrigal beach on the #NSW #centralcoast against shark nets. As an ocean swimmer, I am appalled by the destruction of endangered wildlife, including turtles and dolphins and even baby whales who get caught unintentionally by these nets.

    The politicians KNOW that the nets are not effective in preventing shark attacks, and KNOW of the 'by-catch' harm they do... And yet... And yet they do not have the guts to back the removal of these nets. Why? Short-term political gain, of course, as in so many other areas; they would rather be in the *wrong* than risk a roasting by a hostile press.

    There are jellyfish that I swim with every day that have more backbone. #auspol
