Main Body
Some people want to kill sharks to stop attacks. Tony Abbott says this is a good idea. But Chris Minns says no. He says great white sharks are protected and killing them does not work.
有些人想透過殺死鯊魚來停止攻擊。東尼·艾伯特認為這是個好主意。但克里斯·明斯則表示不行。他說大白鯊是受保護的，而且殺死牠們沒有用。
Scientists say killing sharks is a bad idea. Sharks move a lot in the ocean. They also say the ocean is warmer now. This makes sharks move to new places to find food.
科學家表示殺死鯊魚是個糟糕的主意。鯊魚在海洋中經常移動。他們還說現在海洋溫度升高，這使得鯊魚移動到新地方尋找食物。
Experts want to use drones. Drones can see sharks from the sky. This helps people stay away from danger. More people visit the beach now, so there are more accidents.
專家希望使用無人機。無人機能夠從空中發現鯊魚，這有助於人們避開危險。現在更多人造訪海灘，因此發生了更多意外。
Conclusion
The government will use drones and study sharks. They will not kill the sharks.
政府將使用無人機並研究鯊魚，他們不會殺死鯊魚。
