The Honourable Leeanne Enoch
The death of a QPWS Ranger following a shark attack near North West Island last night is devastating for the family, friends and colleagues of this young man.
The ranger network is like a family and we have lost a brother today.
I send my deepest condolences to his parents and loved ones.
Queensland Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
