Greens spokesperson for Healthy Oceans, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, says that the Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg has been proven wrong by a white shark population study and continues to misrepresent the data for base political purposes.

Senator Whish-Wilson said, “Josh Frydenberg said that ‘Blind Freddy’ could see that white shark numbers were increasing, but this report shows we what knew all along, that ‘Blind Freddy’ Frydenberg talks bullshit.

Greens spokesperson for Healthy Oceans, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson thanks the volunteers and professionals who helped save the juvenile great white shark "Fluffy" at Manly and warns that Fluffy may fall foul of the NSW shark nets upon release. 

Senator Whish-Wilson said, "Well done and thanks to the community and volunteers from the Manly Sea Life Sanctuary who helped save a protected stranded juvenile great white shark nicknamed “Fluffy” on Manly beach yesterday.
