## Resource

A primary school teacher and mother, Leah Stewart, remains in critical condition after a brutal shark attack at Coogee Beach that severed her arm and left her on life support. The community has responded with overwhelming support, raising over $400,000 for her family. This incident is the fourth shark attack in Australian waters in just one month — the previous three were fatal, all involving men spearfishing. In response, authorities have lifted a drone ban over the beach to boost surveillance, while the government eyes new funding for shark safety measures. As Leah fights for recovery, the nation grapples with the terrifying unpredictability of these encounters and the urgent need for better protection.
