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.’

“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“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 avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
