#SURFER 12 CRACK TRIAL#

'We will be responding, which is why we will be writing and asking the Federal Government, which we've already been engaging on this issue, to trial for six months nets across those far north coast beaches.' 'There are extraordinary circumstances that have happened there, we have to respond,' Mr Baird said. Today, Mr Baird said the Government wanted to keep swimmers safe. The Government has previously rolled out a suite of other shark detection measures, but has spent more than a year resisting calls for traditional shark nets.
