They have to be agitated though. Like many venomous creatures, they are not aggressive, only defensive. If their blue rings begin to glow, they are about to strike.

Not good news for anyone who owns a business that relies on beach goers.Quote from: "seoulbro"
They've always been there. That there have been a lot of sightings may simply mean there has been more people on the beach, because our weather has been somewhat warmer.
Most people are informed about what to do if you see the animal, as they are with most of our unsociable and dangerous creatures; leave them alone.
They will not attack unless they feel threatened. Only carnivores, such as sharks and crocodiles actually attack (and the funnel web spider for some reason). And of course, your polar bears.
Australians are well conditioned to living with venomous animals and insects. Very few people are bitten, and then usually because they broke the safety principles, or they weren't informed of them (such as very young children and non-English speaking immigrants and visitors).
I can say with absolute certainty that within a hundred metres of where I sit at this very moment, there are many red backed spiders, and a number of brown snakes. And I live in suburban Adelaide, just 14k from the city. Its part of our environment, and we just adapt and get on with it.

Yes. And so kids love to prod them to see the pretty colours.
They learn.

Pretty instant death yet a very passive risk adverse creature that wants nothing to do with mammals.

They look so harmless.
