The Efficacy of Electrical Repellent Systems
The efficacy of electrical repellent systems has been the subject of some concern since the introduction of the Shark Shield product range, particularly in Australia.
In 2010, SafeWork SA, the government agency responsible for administering occupational health, safety and welfare laws in South Australia, commissioned a study into the effectiveness of the Shark Shield Freedom 7™ product. The findings of the research which were released in June 2012, found that that the Shark Shield Freedom 7™ ‘had an effect on the behaviour of white sharks, but did not deter or repel them in all situations.’

“If there is a case for mental events and mental states, it must be that the positing of them, like the positing of molecules, has some indirect systematic efficacy in the development of theory.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Few speeches which have produced an electrical effect on an audience can bear the colourless photography of a printed record.”
—Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl Rosebery (1847–1929)
“One swiftly forgets his intolerable writing, his mirthless, sedulous, repellent manner, in the face of the Athenian tragedy he instills into his seduced and soul-sick servant girls, his barbaric pirates of finances, his conquered and hamstrung supermen, his wives who sit and wait. He has, like Conrad, a sure talent for depicting the spirit in disintegration.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
