STREET TALK

DO YOU THINK THE COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE DRAINED EVANDALE LAKE TO CATCH ONE FISH? Marie Victoria, 18, Surfers Paradise: No, how do they know there’s only one fish that’s dangerous and that it won’t happen again? Barry Jen, 42, Varsity Lakes:

No, they are a part of the environment, people just shouldn’t swim in there until they catch it.

Gabriel Oliveira, 33, Mermaid Beach: Unsure, I think it’s important to catch it as it could reproduce but there could’ve been a more smart way to do it.

Luciana Bauerfeldt, 26, Burleigh Heads: No, they should preserve the environment, people can swim elsewhere.

Lynne Cai, 22, Robina: No, I think they should catch the fish but not drain the lake, too much money.
