Footage from the West Australian edition of ABC TV News at 7pm on the 2nd of October, 2014. The day a surfer was bitten by a shark and then a Great White Shark was hunted, caught and killed by the WA Department of Fisheries after approval was reportedly sought of and, reportedly granted by Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to do so.

Late developing news, at the end of the story, indicates that it may NOT have been a GWS that bit the surfer after all. He reportedly said it was two Bronze Whalers.
