On Saturday afternoon near Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, two teenage jet ski riders allegedly harassed and capsized a tinnie carrying two boys aged 10 and 14 while they were fishing. The incident was captured on video by witness Robert Collin, showing the teenagers repeatedly circling and splashing water at the smaller boat before it capsized due to waves generated by their jet skis. Acting Senior Sergeant Shannon Gray of Queensland Police stated that the teens could face charges including assault and causing a marine incident, depending on their criminal history. Mayor Tom Tate condemned the actions as "unfathomable" and discussed potential improvements in security for the area.

Story summary
Jaw-dropping footage shows two teenagers on jet skis allegedly capsizing a small fishing boat, known as a tinny, in the Nerang River near Surfers Paradise on Queensland's Gold Coast. The incident occurred over the weekend and was captured by local resident Robert Collin. Video evidence suggests that the teens deliberately circled the tinny multiple times, spraying it with water from their jet skis until the boat capsized, throwing two boys aged 10 and 14 into the river. Queensland Police confirmed both children were uninjured but noted the reckless behavior of the teenagers put them at significant risk of drowning or injury, given that the tinny’s propeller was still spinning afterward.
The mayor of Gold Coast, Tom Tate, expressed outrage over the incident during a press conference and stated plans to enhance water safety measures in the area. He intends to collaborate with Queensland Police, particularly the Water Police, to investigate if additional resources are needed for better enforcement and surveillance along the Nerang River. Acting Senior Sergeant Shannon Gray from Queensland Police indicated that the two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, will face charges of dangerous operation of a vessel and assault in connection with this reckless behavior.

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.
