WA news LIVE: ‘Shark culling doesn’t work’: WA government accuses Nationals of politicising Albany tragedy

The Western Australian government has dismissed calls from the Nationals to implement shark culling in response to a recent tragedy in Albany. Premier Roger Cook stated that shark culling is not an effective solution and accused the opposition of politicizing the incident. The government is instead focusing on current shark mitigation strategies and research. The Nationals had urged for immediate action, including drum lines, to address public safety concerns following the fatal shark attack.
