Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

Jaw-dropping footage of a pair of teenagers on jet skis appearing to capsize a tinny with two children inside has angered locals.
The shocking clip was snapped in the Nerang River on the Gold Coast, near Surfers Paradise, over the weekend.
It appears to show two out of control jet skis driving dangerously in the water close to the small tinny and spraying it with water, causing it to capsize.
Queensland Police have now confirmed the two occupants of the tinny were children aged 10 and 14.

Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate said the incident was “unfathomable” at a press conference earlier today and confirmed that he would be looking into amping up security in the area.
“I’ll be talking to Queensland Police, specifically the water police, to see if they have enough resources.
“We might look at putting more cameras so we can get prosecutions, which would be a deterrent.
“Hopefully the footage can reveal who it is and we can capture them.”
Gold Coast man Robert Collin snapped the footage and condemned the riders actions, adding that where the tinny capsized was the same spot where they caught bull sharks just a few weeks earlier.
“The jetskis were very aggressive towards tinny and didn’t bother to see if the two young victims were OK after rolling the boat,” Mr Collin told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
“The propeller was still spinning and the kids could have easily been trapped or knocked out and drowned.”
Mr Collin added that it was not the first time he had seen something like this happen in the area, branding it “pure stupidity”.
