Given the number of bronzies around swimmers every year it here I think the experts opinion of great white makes more sence - despite the report which I suspect would b difficult to prove.

Possibly. It is just very bad luck, wrong place wrong time. There are over 360 species of shark, only about 5-7 of which are dangerous. You have nearly 5x the chance of being killed by lightning as you do of shark attack. Sharks have more to fear from us!
