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.
