While the West Australian Government pushes for an extension of its controversial shark-kill policy, one passionate opponent is going to unusual lengths to fight it.

Not satisfied with protesting from the beach, young filmmaker Madison Stewart took her underwater camera to the baited drum lines off Perth beaches and filmed sharks caught up on the hooks

Her latest video features an incident off Scarborough, a popular Perth beach, where activists were warned by Fisheries officers that they were acting illegally by handling a 3.2 metre tiger shark that had died on the lines.

Authorities allege the activists broke the Fish Resources Management Act by handling the shark, a protected fish, and obstructing officers trying to perform their duties.

governments normally take steps to stop the crimes being filmed nowadays because it leaves a trail of evidence back to the perpetrator, threatening arrest is the other step, the Russians arrested the greenpeace activists who were exposing various crimes of Russia – looks as if Australia is in hot pursuit of claiming the crown.

Better than shooting then every day I suppose.

Will they choose a different species to shoot each endangered species day, I wonder.

Plants for Government Offices
The Tenders WA website confirmed the departments of Treasury and Finance hired Ambius Indoor Plants to supply and maintain indoor plants at QBE House, Optima Building and Gordon Stephenson House, at a cost of $234,540. This is an extraordinary amount of taxpayers’ money to spend on making offices look pretty, especially after demanding 2 per cent efficiency cuts across the public sector.

I’m struggling to see pot plants as a crime against the environment though.
