Statement of Killing of Grey Nurse Shark at the Haven

Mar 2, 2026
Environment

I strongly condemn the senseless behaviour involved in the killing of a grey nurse shark at Terrigal.

Grey nurse sharks are a critically endangered species in New South Wales. Harming or killing these animals is a serious offence, and these actions will not be tolerated in our community.

Anyone with knowledge or information regarding this matter must come forward so those responsible can be held accountable for this appalling act.
