I used to run a barge around the gulf years ago, one week in Weipa the tide was out and a huge croc was laying on a sand bank near the wharf. One week later it was high tide and some d**khead was fishing in waist deep muddy water in the exact spot where the croc was days before. I can't believe he wasn't taken. Dumb luck that's all.
They put nets around the ships in Weipa when they load because the wharfies s**t themselves looking at the crocs watching them.

The only stupid I see is the government won't let normal people teach crocks to fear us humans

I've had first hand experience with lots of crocs over many years living across the top and I can tell you they are very easy to educate.
You don't have to shoot them, just near them and next time you see them they are swimming away from you very fast.
