Thousands gather on Cottesloe Beach for shark cull protest

An estimated 6,000 people gathered at Perth's Cottesloe Beach today amid nationwide protests against Western Australia's catch-and-kill shark policy.

The protests came after the second shark killed under the policy was pulled from a baited drum line off Leighton Beach this morning.

The shark - believed to be a 2 metre tiger shark - was dumped further offshore.

The protest action kicked off at 4:30am (AWST) when a 19-year-old woman locked herself to one of the two fisheries vessels being used to set and monitor baited hooks off the Perth coast.

Elsewhere, nearly 2,000 people gathered at Manly Beach in Sydney, while protestors also gathered at Glenelg in Adelaide and beaches in Victoria and Queensland.

A year of elections - and mixed signals

This is not a federal election year, yet it is a year of elections just the same.

2014 brings us state and federal by-elections in Queensland, state elections in Tasmania, South Australia, and Victoria, and a possible Senate election re-run in Western Australia.

But while there are lots of results to read and dissect, don't count on any single contest giving us any guide to how the Abbott Government is travelling.

Shell considers sale of 900 Australian petrol stations after profit fall

Global oil giant Shell has revealed it wants to sell its 900 Australian petrol stations, following a nearly 40 per cent slump in annual profits.

The Dutch-based energy giant is assessing all of its liquefied natural gas investments in Australia as it seeks to sell $17 billion worth of assets around the world.

Shell is also planning to sell its 32 Australian fuel terminals and its Geelong refinery has been on the market since the start of last year.

The announcement comes after the company reported the massive fall in its annual profit on Thursday.

Shell says it will not make a final investment decision this year on its Gladstone LNG project in Queensland run by Arrow Energy.

PM launches Glasson campaign for Rudd's vacated seat

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has launched Bill Glasson's campaign to win the federal seat of Griffith, which has been vacated by former prime minister Kevin Rudd.

Dr Glasson, an ophthalmologist and former president of the Australian Medical Association, was defeated by Mr Rudd in last year's election.

"He's not going into the Parliament to promote his career or to build his ego," Prime Minister Abbott said.

Tour operators say Abbot Point decision will affect reef, tourism

Great Barrier Reef tour operators say a decision to allow the dumping of dredge spoil near the reef's marine park area will affect tourism in the region and Australia's international reputation.

Nearly 3 million cubic meters of spoil will be tipped in an area near the marine park as part of the Abbot Point coal port expansion near Bowen after permission was granted yesterday by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) with 47 strict conditions.

Scientists and conservation lobbyists had urged the rejection of the expansion arguing sediment from dredging could smother corals and seagrasses and expose them to poisons and elevated nutrients.

Government will use car industry report to scrap subsidies: Opposition

The Federal Opposition says the Government will use a report on the car industry to justify scrapping industry subsidies by the end of the decade.

The Productivity Commission released an interim paper yesterday on industry policy which recommends ditching taxpayer handouts by 2020.

Opposition spokesman Tony Zappia says the Government will use the report to justify an end to support for the industry.

"[It is] a predictable, baseless attack on Australian automotive manufacturing clearly intended to provide political cover for the Abbott government's failure to support Australian auto workers," he said.

Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane says the Government will respond to the carmakers after the final report has been completed.
