【Bad Intention (2020) Hindi Web Series】

A spate of shark attacks along the northern New South Wales coast line of Australia,Bad Intention (2020) Hindi Web Series have brought with them a bizarre adaptation of the #BlackLivesMatter slogan.

In response to four recent attacks and the proposed installation of controversial shark nets along the popular coast line, someone graffitied "#SurferLivesMatter" on the road.

The co-opted Black Lives Matter hashtag movement was seen by many some local commentators as inappropriate -- trivialising the importance of the movement it references.

The Indigenous advocacy Facebook group Blackfulla Revolution posted the photo, fielding the debate as to its appropriateness -- with fairly mixed responses.

Shark nets have been known to trap and injure sea life, with some local groups looking to technological innovations for more environmentally-friendly alternatives to keeping sharks at bay.
