Fourteen sharks were caught in trials of the SMART drumlines off Sydney beaches while elsewhere more than 40 sharks were snagged on the NSW south and north coasts and at Newcastle, according to data released by Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall on Sunday. Species caught included great white sharks, bronze whalers, grey nurse and bull sharks, among others.The satellite-linked drumlines were set near existing shark nets and alerted boat crews, who tagged and released sharks when caught."The beauty of this technology is that it not only prevents shark encounters but also allows scientists to monitor the tagged sharks and learn more about their behaviour," Mr Marshall said in a statement.

The Department of Primary Industries will analyse the results before deciding on further steps, the statement said.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'll never understand the judges' selection. Who are the judges? The Packer's pick for winner was far more deserving.

'We've been baffled at the resistance': NSW finally joins national domestic violence campaignUntil this week, the NSW Government had been the only state or territory government in the country that was not a member of Our Watch, the national violence prevention agency. Oh, I think we ALL know the real reason for that - the LNP govt. As a strong supporter of DV prevention & support, it still baffles me that male victims are not supported with the same gusto as female victims. Assistance given to women still leave our male victims vulnerable and in the exact same situation as those we are trying to help At least they mentioned domestic violence related suicide. How many men take their lives because they don't get believed?
