When I was growing up in Oz and training to be a volunteer lifesaver, we were always told that punching a shark on the nose or poking it in the eye is about the only hope you have of not being eaten. And this proves, it does work!

it would be good if you knew the full story.... He didn't get attacked in Sydney as the healine says, he got attacked in Albany (Lower south west of WA!!! (thats the other side of the flippin continent!!!!)) Sydney is over 4,000 kms away! the headline completely contradicts the story!
