Don’t Swim or Surf at Sydney Beaches – The Greens Party have campaigned to have all the protective shark nets removed!!

[Author’s Note:  This article is a work-in-progress and we continue to update the content.  Whilst we categorise the article under our Blog Category ‘Deaths in The Mountains‘, our close background to Coogee Beach and deep involvement in Surf Life Saving, means that we make an exception in this one instance.  In addition, in Katoomba we have recently encountered of all things Surf Life Saver promoters (from foreign lands) outside Bunnings Katoomba publicising the risks of surf swimming to Mountains folk.  We follow in their stead.]

But there is no notice signage for visitors to a beach about wherther there is a working shark net at that particular beach or not.  So it’s sensibly safest to presume there isn’t any shark net, so don’t venture into the sea water.  Government knows best according to government.

At the current time of starting to draft this article (18th June 2026) the State of New South Wales (NSW) had removed all it shark nets along NSW coastal beaches. This means that no beach in NSW has a shark net to save lives of swimmers from shark attack, and that includes surfer dudes.

So it is now become a life and death choice to swim at any beach in NSW despite it being patrolled by life savers.  It is misguided, scary, and too dangerous to go swimming, but them’s the facts.

This Wholly Avoidable Tragedy:

Yep,  The Greens Party campaign has bullied the New South Wales Government to remove all its shark nets along the coastline that have long protected swimmers from shark attacks.  Like many Sydney beaches, Coogee has shark nets in summer. The nets were removed at the end of March.  The removal of the nets took place by Monday 30th March 2026.

The Greens Campaign since 2021 and prior:

The Greens have blood on their hands.

This autum time of year is still warm enough to swim in togs along this coastline.  Many are still down the beach and swimming in the sea, locals and visitors alike.  The Easter holiday break (3-5 April 2026) was just days after the removal of the shark nets.

So, how bloody reckless and negligent of the NSW Government to fail to protect public safety at its beaches!  The local volunteer Surf Life Saving patrol season along NSW beaches extends from September through April every year.

Yet many a hardy acclimatised local swimmer of the sea off Sydney do so all year round.  So the shark nets are critical safety measure for coastal beach swimmers up and down NSW 365 days all year round.  The nets provide the reassurance of passive protection.

Whereas other risk mitgation measure require active vigilance and government funding which is unreliably fickle like the wind.

Many local seaside councils, aware of the year round visitation to their beaches also employ professional lifeguards of selected popular beaches All YEAR ROUND as additional caretaker responsibility during and outside the volunteer patrol season.  They know the risks and the statistics will justify the patrol expense and surveillance.

The Greens lather over their ‘climate change’ doomsday cult, yet hypocritically ignore that ocean temperatures might be rising into the winter months, so attractive to more sea swimmers.  Hello!

Almost predicably given multiple shark attacks recenty in January 2026, guess what’s happened of late?

A regular female swimmer at Sydney’s Coogee Beach at around 11am Saturday 13th June 2026 was savagely mauled by a reported Great Whte Shark. It was reported between 3.5m and 4m long, and the swimmer was just 30 metres off the beach in shallow water, just beyond the beakers.

The shark attack has occurred just two months after Coogee Beach’s shark nets were removed.  The swimmer has since had her left arm amputated and remains fighting for her life in Sydney’s St Vincents Hospital Emergency and ICU!

That Coogee Shark Attack Rescue:

 

Saturday 13th June 2026 (a mild mid-winter):

The following summary is garnered from the media as well as some suggested insight presumptions of news not known or told by the media, by this author, a former surf life saver of ten years and a former local member of Coogee SLSC.

The media reported that “a woman was pulled from Coogee beach at around 11am after being bitten by a shark”.  Witness, bartender Tom Vesper was sitting on the rainbow steps (image below) at the center of Coogee Beach, about to go for a swim and said he had noticed the woman swimming laps across the length of the beach, in water that was perhaps 10 metres deep.

[Author’s note:  No way!  Try more like just 3 metres deep at just 30 metres out.  Coogee Bay (inner Thompsons Bay here) is quiet a shallow sandy even grade, say compared with Bondi or Bronte or Tamarama shorelines to the north.  Swimming 30 metres out at Coogee up and down the bay, with goggles one can see the sand not far below (doing freestyle), although it is over one’s head deep.]

 

The female swimmer at Coogee was swiming just 30 metres out from the sand just beyond the small beakers so as to get smoother water for swimming (likely freestyle stroke?).  She was swimming sensibly with two fellow female swimmers at the time.

But thanks to looney Greens warped ideology obsessed with shark net removal above all rational considerations, Coogee Beach’s almost century of safe sea swimming history is now in reputational tatters…

 

The sea conditions at the time were reported as being relatively calm and the water clear.  Whilst the Coogee SLSC volunteer ‘summer’ beach patrol season for 2025-2026 had ended at the end of April (well after Easter), the professional lifeguards at popular Coogee Beach patrol all year round 366 days a year.  They also use beach patrol flags to indicate the safest part of the beach sea area to swim between.

The woman was rightly swimming between the beach patrol flags!

But then some unseen large shark suddenly bites her leg and as she desparately tried to fend it off, also deep into her left arm.   The shark drags her as prey briefly under the water surface.

Aitness, Oakley Lamb, said he saw splashing in the water, and blood.

By chance, a paddleboarder close by, Charlie Verco, noticed the attack and raced to the woman’s rescue.  He said “I couldn’t fight off the shark”.  He described holding the barely conscious woman above water with one arm, trying to reassure her as he immediatly started a backpaddling rescue with the other hand back to shore.

Then the shark alarm was activated by the lifeguards on patrol.

Charlie Verco (24) was soon later briefly interviewed stating he is a life guard and he was off duty at the time.  Without question, he saved her life.

Once at waist heigh water depth, a small group of awaiting bystanders (Coogee Beach lifeguards and beachgoers) met the victim by the paddleboard and she was jointly carried by lifeguards and beachgoers up to dry sand just above the waterline. The first aiders then immediately commenced critical first aid.

Acknowledged, that this medical incident was an out-of-the-blue real emergency rescue, unexpected and so rare (if not unheard of in living memory) for Coogee Beach.  The life saving rescue priorities were duly taken without hesitation to the credit of all involved…  fight off the shark if possible, reach the victim, secure a hold and keep head above water, to ensure breathing, ressure, get the victim back to shore ASAP, carry above the waterline and commence critical first as appropriate – ie: in this case stop the blood loss, etc, etc.

In the heat of the rescue moment, the above mentioned life saving priority actions come first.  Charlie had put his life on the line to save the victim.  This must not be understated.  He’s a true life saving hero.

But Surf Life Saving we learn from this tragedy, before the next shark attack, now the shark nets have been stupidly and neglegently removed from under them.  In hindsight, the bare sand proved to be problematic for infection to develop.  There was no oberved stretcher, nor a patient table (say under a collapsible marquee – like the volunteer surf lifesavers use ) nor a dedicated and equipped patient trailer on the back of the quad bike(s), nor even a tarpauline to lay over the sand to protect such wounds from exposure to the sand and to bacteria contamination within.

On the beach she was quickly treated by on duty lifeguards, and fortuitously also by an off-duty emergency physician who quickly stabilised her (NSW Ambulance Inspector Mike Corlis said) before called-in emergency paramedics soon arrived at the beach scene.

Police and paramedics administered critical advanced first aid onsite.

The Shark?

 

Drone footage taken of a shark off Coogee beach in Sydney on Saturday.  Randwick Council (Coogee Lifeguards) jet skis patrolled the beach following the attack, with its staff estimating the shark to be at least three to four metres in size.

Marine biologist with Humane World for Animals Australia, Lawrence Chlebeck, said the shark in video footage of the water scene taken by Stephen Denneny, director of One Shot Creative, appears to be a great white.

Denneny said the shark remained in Coogee Bay for 30 to 45 minutes before making its way north towards Gordons Bay.  Baitfish are attracted to faecal matter, and sharks are attracted to baitfish.

 

[Author’s Note:  Now therein lies a potential contributory factor to that shark attack at Coogee Bay.  The coastal bay immediately north of Coogee Bay, being Gordons Bay is not for swimming.  Gordons Bay is tiny and has rock platforms around it and with noticeably steeper water access and the bay is far narrower.

Gordons Bay has long been home to a small local Gordons Bay Fishing Club for many decades. The club includes a series of parallel old woodn boat ramps suitable for open runabout boats and a shed used mainly for cleaning freshly caught fish.

The relevant question is what do the fisherman do with the fish entrails and unwanted bait?  If they discard such back into Gordon’s Bay sea waters, then this risks attracting fish and therefore sharks.

The Great White Shark that attacked the female swimmer in Coogee Bay was last seen swimming towards Gordons Bay.  Why?  Was it returning to where it had come from or to a new feeding ground?  It is not known – no GPS location deviced had been obviously fitted.  No aerial mointoring was conducted prior so as to early detect this 4m monster shark.  The NSW Government facialitated (invoted if you like) a shark free for all feeding frenzy.

Gordons Bay is typically rich in marine life:

Gordons Bay is also situated adjacent to Coogee Bay, about 800m north.

As a familiar formal local, this is conjecture, yet no-one elses is conjecturing, yet we have a serious shark attack just happen so who else is doing the homework and analysis, else running for culpability cover? ]

The Paramedic Transfer to Emergency Hospital:

 

The life-threatened injured patient was then transported to the nearest major emergency hospital hospital, St Vincents Sydney, to have immediate emergency theatre-surgery ASAP.

However the transport mode was convoluted and caused serious delays.

The current state of the ambulance transfer remains a NSW Govermental shambolic logistical convoluted mess and delay, that is multi-moded (by road, then by air, then by road) to the nearest best equipped emergency trauma hospital at St Vincents.

 

This took place via emergency ambulance from Coogee Beach esplanade to the nearby Coogee Oval, through busy holiday traffic, where a waiting Careflight helicopter that had been summonded and had just landed.

Yet the ambulance chose the busy Coogee Bay Road route, and predictably got struck in traffic congestion at this busy beachside suburb.

The patient was then transferred from the ambulance to the Careflight helicopter anto be airlifted towards the nearest major emergency hospital – St Vincents Hospital Sydney, technically being being just a 3 nautical mile direct flight from Coogee Oval.

 

The woman was taken to hospital “semi-conscious and breathing,” Surf Life Saving NSW said in a statement.

Compounding transfer delay, St Vincents Hospital Sydney at 390 Victoria Street Darlinghurst is situated in a congested old downtown part of inner Sydney densely surrounded by residences.  In 2026 it still has no helipad.

So standard procedure for incoming Careflight helicopters with such emergency patients is to land at the closest nearby former Army Victoria Barracks parade lawn.

 

The flight from Coogee Beach direct to St Vincents of 3 nautical miles would be under 10 minutes, so life saving stuff flying over and avoiding city traffic congestion. What is a human life worth?

Yet the NSW Government’s ignorant and antiquated standard emergency patient combo transfer is backward and substandard in 2026.  The necessitation of using road ambulance from Coogee Beach (or any other Sydney eastern suburbs beach) to similarly rely upon awkward multi-transport mode logistics is archaic.

Another waiting ambulance from the Victoria Barracks vacant lawn to St Vincent’s Hospital compounds patient transport logistics and adds vital minutes to the patient’s survivability  and recoverability risks.

 

 

So how long does it take from Coogee Beach to the Operating Theatre?  Too Long! This is 2026?  This poor woman is fighting for life after being mauled by a shark at one of Australia’s busiest beaches and is this all the NSW Government can offer?

And this is addition to it removing the shark nets and inviting a spate of shark attacks.

 

The Hospital Treatment:

 

This trauma patient presented in a critical condition to paramedics having just an hour previously suffered multiple severe and deep laceration bites from a very large powerful shark, obviously treating the swimmer as prey.

NSW Ambulance Inspector Mike Corlis attending, stated:

“She has quite massive wounds to her left lower leg and her arms.”   

The patient was transferred by emergency services from Coogee Beach to St Vincent’s Hospital ED with serious arm and leg injuries.

Footage of the attack location taken Stephen Denneny, director of One Shot Creative, shows a patch of dark water that was most likely blood.  The victim would have lost much blood from severed arteries.  Such arterial blood loss from multiple limbs is life-threatening.

Subsequent media reports confirmed the identity of the victim as Leah Stewart (34) a local of the Eastern Suburbs, and clearly a regular swimmer of Coogee.

 

[Authros’ Note:  This author has swum this similar beach lap swim at this location hundreds of times in the past, actually in the exact location, just beyond the breakers up and back.   This tragedy hits home deeply.]

Too little Too late:

A jet-ski patrols off Coogee Beach after the shark attack.

Randwick and Waverley councils closed all their beaches.

Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker, who arrived at the beach just after the incident, said the woman had been “in pretty bad shape”.  Understatement of the decade!

Ranwick Mayor Parker:

“There are lots of very shaken-up people, but we are so thankful for the heroic efforts of that individual and council lifeguards in providing that immediate first aid and CPR.”

 

Well, Labor Party Mayor Parker get your facts correct!

• Actually the poor bloody victim was more shaken up, hello!
• “Heroic efforts of that individual and council lifeguards”.  The so-called “individual” was an off-duty lifeguard, Charlie Verco (24).  So as Randwick Mayor, being responsible ultimately for Randwick’s Council employed lifeguards, and indeed claiming in his Bio to be a volunteer surf lifesaver himself at Maroubra Beach, yet has Dylan Parker ever met any of the lifeguards.  He obviously was not aware that the prime rescuer was on Randwick Council’s lifeguard crew at Coogee.
• No CPR was provided to the victism because the patient was semi-conscious.

A qualified surf lifesaver requires minimum life saving skills sets and a swimming fitness regime to reliably perform surf rescue in order to be able to have a chance to be awarded the Surf Bronze Medallion.

So then, how can a lifesaver with established sagging chest pectoral muscles posses the strength to even meet the training prerequisites such as to be able to complete a 400m pool swim in 9 minutes of less.  

 

In order to be a fit swimmer in pounding surf and at the time able to swim out and rescue a fledgling swimmer in distress, the upper body muscular strength from regular targeted execise and supplemented by body building is to primarily develop advanced capability in three muscle groups demanded by surf swimming:

 

(1)  Shoulders (deltoids)

(2)  Upper rear of arms (triceps)

(3)  Chest muslces  (pectorals)

 

 

[Author’s note:  One didn’t do the Bronze test in a pool. It was out in full medium surf at Bondi Beach.]

Idiot!  Best seek a replacement media advisor or 35 like Labor Premier Chris Minns, because he has no clue.  Perhaps this Labor Party’s Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker was despatched out of the country on non-Randwick political business at the time?  He’s got a degree in politics and is a Labor hack.

Dylan’s BIO claims on the loves Randwick and is passionate about making it a better place. As Mayor, Dylan is proud to lead a community with strong environmental values and goals.

• Supporting our community sporting clubs.
• Ensuring that only suitable and sustainable development is approved.
• Preserving our green space and canopy cover as well as improving our world-class parks, sporting facilities and walking tracks.
• Enriching Randwick City’s arts, culture and nightlife.
• Delivering affordable housing so that our next generation can afford to live in our community

 

 

 

Hospital Options for Shark Attacks at Sydney Beaches

 

 

Yet St Vincents Hospital Sydney is the only major emergecy hospital servicing Sydney’s eastern suburbs region.

 

 

Spate of recent shark attacks:

 

The Coogee incident follows a recent spate of fatal attacks along the coastline of NSW and Australia.

The most recent fatal attack in Australian waters happened on June 6, when 35‑year‑old diver Daniel Turpin was bitten by a suspected 4.5‑metre shark while spearfishing with his family off Michaelmas Island near Albany.

His death followed the killing of 38‑year‑old Perth father Steven Mattaboni off Rottnest Island on 16 May, and 39‑year‑old Queensland spearfisher Michael Jensz at Kennedy Shoal south of Cairns on May 24.

Both Western Australian attacks are believed to have involved great whites, while evidence points to Jensz having been taken by a bull shark.

In January, NSW made international headlines after recording four shark attacks in 48 hours.

There were four suspected bull shark attacks in three days across NSW beaches.  Two resulted in people being hospitalised in critical condition, while the other two escaped without serious injuries.  The first of those maulings also occurred in Sydney’s east, near Shark Beach.  Nico Antic, 12, was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after being rescued by mates, police said at the time.  He later died from his injuries.

ADD:

The incident at Coogee follows a series of shark attacks in NSW last summer.

A 12-year-old boy, Nico Antic, died after being bitten by a bull shark at Nielsen Park in Vaucluse. There were also three other suspected bull shark attacks on NSW beaches, resulting in two hospitalisations and a narrow escape for an 11-year-old boy whose surfboard was bitten.

Experts attributed the January attacks to heavy rains. Chris Pepin-Neff, a shark bite policy researcher at the University of Sydney, said then that the public should be warned when it is unsafe to swim at beaches after 20 millimetres of rain because of increased faecal matter and pollution from estuaries.

North Steyne was among a number of Sydney beaches closed after shark sightings and incidents in January.

Surf Life Saving NSW chief executive Steve Pearce said it was the fourth serious shark attack since September 2025.  Pearce said that while the volunteer Surf Life Saving patrol season ended in April, additional drone surveillance has been organised for Bondi-Bronte on Saturday and Sunday, with further flights in the area to be assessed. Drones were flying in 14 locations for the rest of the month, he said.

No shark nets, no swimming safety!  The Greens play politics with human lives.

Green have blood on their hands.  Vote Greens?  No bloody way!

Our Local Experience and Knowledge:

This author, Steven Ridd, was a Coogee local between 1993 and 2000, so 8 years, and well familiar with both Coogee the suburb and particularly with its beach with its comparatively shallow surf bay itself.

Knowing the shark nets were out there beyond the breakers, throughout those eight years, one swam Coogee Beach around 6:30am up and down from the club house and back every day before work, plus at weekends.  This fitness regime included a 2km walk from home each way and then after a 1-hour gym session at the old rusty version of Coogee SLSC, before it go the fancy revamp.  One was rather fit.

Steven had previously gained my Surf Bronze Medallion at Bondi back in 1987.  I voluntarily patrolled beaches at Bondi, Fairhaven (Vic), and Clovelly over a ten year period.  He then joined Coogee SLSC in 1998 and that’s when he started his daily early morning exercise regime including a sea swim paralleling the beach at about 30m offshore from the Coogee Surf Club up towards Giles Baths then back. The swimming distance is about 1km overall.

It was never a problem nor fear because the shark net was out there protecting Thomsons Bay (part of Coogee Bay).

 

Drones are nice to complement the shark spotting

 

Active surveillance does not replace the passive security of shark nets – jet skis, helicopters, drones with cameras, patrollers watching the sea from the patrol beach.

Yet whilst the ignorant Greens Party frothed at the bit over their concerns about shark nets, the NSW Government under Premier Chris Minns was well aware that Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) had banned the use of drone cameras at Coogee Beach.

So the Minns NSW Labor Government removed the shark nets while aware that their were no drones allowed to serveil Coogee Beach for possible sharks that traditionally frequent that coastline to prey for food.  So this left uninformed swimmers off Coogee Beach at the mercy of shark attacks.  The Minns Government is culpable of gross negligence.

 

Yet, fact check, the drone legal altitude limit is just 400 feet AGL, whilst the airliners landing at Sydney Airport have a minimum altitude of 5000 feet AGL over Coogee Beach, so the unlicensed bureaucrats claim there could be a collision? Seriously?

What about the Surf helicopters at 400+ feet AGL?  CASA are arse-covering idiots.  Legal minimum vertical separation between all aircraft is 1000-2000 feet, not 4600 feet.  So go figure.  And by the way, helicopters mustering cattle up in northern Australia’s outback come a hell of a lot closer than 1000 feet vertical to fellow heli-musterers.  Like it’s whites of the eyes stuff.

The Excellent Safety Record of Shark Nets

 

Since shark nets were installed in Sydney in 1937, there have been zero fatalities from shark attack off any Sydney beach.  The only fatal shark attack at a netted beach in New South Wales (NSW) during this entire 89 year period occurred in Newcastle, not Sydney, in 1951.

 

In fact, in 1922 the Randwick Council experimented with a “shark-proof fence” net at Coogee Beach following a fatal shark attack, but it was destroyed by severe weather before its official opening.

https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/facilities-and-recreation/beaches-and-coast/shark-management

 

Shark net meshing was first installed off Sydney beaches.  In 1922, Randwick Council experimented with a “shark-proof fence” net at Coogee Beach following a fatal shark attack, but it was destroyed by severe weather before its official opening.

In November 1929, Coogee Beach successfully opened a formalised, enclosed shark net area to the public, which stood until the infrastructure was again destroyed by heavy seas in 1934.

By October 1937, the NSW Government officially deployed the first widespread offshore mesh nets at 18 popular Sydney beaches spanning from Palm Beach to Cronulla.

So which are “Sydney Beaches”?

 

Now, by “Sydney” we don’t just mean Sydney’s eastern suburbs surf beaches along the Pacific Ocean like Coogee Beach (and technically from Bondi Beach south to Little Bay Beach).  Nor do we mean the Northern Beaches of Sydney (technically from Shelly Beach north to North Palm Beach).  Nor do we mean Sydney Harbour beaches inside the heads of Port Jackson and westerward on both the southern and north shores.

Instead, by “Sydney” we extend mean what the NSW Government terms as ‘Greater Sydney’.  Now that’s the following huge chunk of NSW from Macquarie Street north out to Newcastle and beyond, south out to Nowra and Goulburn, and west out to Bathurst and Mudgee.  See  map below.  The green parts haven’t become red..yet.

Since 1st January 2015, the NSW Government got really too big for its boots and had its urban department for drinking water (and sewerage) take over the State of New South Wales to become WaterNSW.  See proposed map of Greaterer Sydney below.

By 2021 (under NSW Premier ​Gladys Berejiklian) the WaterNSW bureaucrats to boot got a new flash skyscraper dedicated all to themselves at Parramatta {city}.

 

 

Not bad for what used to be the mild mannered Sydney metropolitan ‘Board of Water Supply and Sewerage’ until 1995 (under Premier Bob Carr) when it got a a name change to ‘Sydney Water’.   That’s mass immigration for you.

 

NSW Minns Labour Government Culpably Negligent

 

and has prompted calls for stronger shark mitigation strategies across NSW.

‘Calls for stronger shark mitigation strategies’
The incident underscored the need for stronger protections for beachgoers across the state, Central Coast local councillor Jared Wright said.

Wright:

“Coogee Beach does not have an active SLSNSW drone patrol or shark listening station,” he said in a statement.  I have always been of the view that these protection measures need to be rolled out at as many beaches as possible, as quickly as possible.”

Sharks are closer than we think. Here are the telltale signs they’re nearby
Drones were being used at 14 locations statewide on Saturday but not at Coogee, SLNSW said.

Additional drone surveillance has been organised for Bondi and Bronte beaches for Saturday and Sunday, with further flights in the area to be assessed.

 

In April, Surf Life Saving NSW announced shark bite trauma kits would be installed at every surf club across the state following a wave of attacks.

How about shark nets?  They’ve worked perfectly along the NSW coastline patrolled beaches for 89 years since 1937.

Shark Mitigation abandonment by NSW Minns Labor Government
