JF Aus, mosquitoes account for somewhere between 600,000 and 1,000,000 human deaths per year, with around 200 million seriously affected by their bite. Shark attacks are a handful by comparison. Mosquitoes are found in the same environment as man, whereas sharks are in an alien environment to humans. People choose to enter the sharks environment for mostly recreational purposes, surfing, diving etc, and should know the risk. The remedy for shark attack is simple, choose not to enter the sharks environment unless, you are willing to run the risk of attack, can't say the same for mosquitoes.

Paul,

The Port Arthur massacre was a rare event and even less rare than shark attacks.

What is the use of comparing worldwide mosquito data?
Why not count and compare vehicle fatalities?
Numbers numbers and more numbers.

Some expert ocean people think there are many more deaths from sharks that are known, Harold Holt for example, and thousands of missing people not accounted for and who were swimmers.

Dead is dead no matter which way, and we all have a right to defend ourselves against injury or death.

".... and we all have a right to defend ourselves against injury or death."

Not in the world of the Greens, the Greens believe that all animals have he right to defend themselves, except the human animal.

They want to give them guns? How's that supposed to work? Look, it's a simple question of weight ratios: a five ounce bird can't carry a one-pound firearm. Now, maybe an African swallow could manage it, but of course they're non-migratory and so not subject to the policies of the Australian Greens.

Is Mise, A near riot in the NSW parliament yesterday when X deputy dog of the Nationals, Adrian Pickhisnose, got upset with the Karl Marx mob opposite because their man Elmer Fudd gave his preferences to your man from the Shooters and Hooters Yosemite Sam in the Orange by-election. Good old Adrian went balistic, goosestepping around the chamber pretending to shoot the Karl Marx mob with his finger gun!
Maybe he need not have bothered, like a greyhound on a rabbit The Nationals have shot 67 clear in the latest counting.

ps How many shots in 30 seconds can you get off with a finger gun? How often do you have to reload?

pps At the last State and Federal elections the Coalition parties preferenced The Shooter and Hooters over Labor. Did Pickhisnose want to shoot the Coalition then, No!
He also went on about his family want to go on hols to Port Arthur and AR-15 Assault rifles, Let hope Pickhisnose never gets his hands on one of those AR-15's, it might replace his finger gun!

It's absurd talking about giving people guns, nobody is saying that guns will be given. Who is saying, 'give everybody guns'?

A limited number of people would like to have target shooting as a hobby.
Some elderly people would like to have a gun handy on dark winter nights.
Elderly couples appreciate peace of mind that can result result in them knowing they have protection if they need it.
All such people would like their desired firearm on hand like was legal previously, without trendy licensing laws to keep them locked up and no longer a pleasurable hobby.

The Greens could put up their focus and aims and policy on firearms, on this OLO website.

I think we all have a right to review all evidence that has caused our protection ability and options to be taken away.
