 From what i gather the technology is spot on

 they go off all the time but dont publicise it, will monitor the threat and alert people accordingly depending on risk to the public. 

 

I doubt most of the sharks are tagged anyhow so really it doesnt make the beaches or water any safer to swimmers/ divers

A young mate of mine was just out past the last channel marker in Bunno thursday before last in his 4.75mtr alli and was buzzed by a white bigger than his boat,there are plenty around. I would say the beacons are pretty reliable but hardly any sharks are tagged compared to how many are out there the govt needs to let the Discovery Channel tag team in so they can have a go.

Want to have a crack but the federal Gov is blocking it cause the odd shark could die.
