I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
First of all, the body found at Dawesville is subject to
coronial inquiry and at this stage the cause of death is not known. In answer
to the member's second point about whether we will extend the shark
mitigation program, the answer is no; 30 April is the date it finishes and the
program will be reviewed for September this year.
