According to ABC report, in 20 18, a China man surnamed Z and his son visited Avery Beach in Queensland. Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, this beach is a very popular tourist attraction.

Unfortunately, the father and son had an accident while swimming in the lagoon of Avery Beach.

Both of them drowned, and the son was only 5 years old.

Z's wife is currently suing Pentecost District Council (WRC) and Ellmill Enterprises, which provide lifesaving services, for negligence and claiming A $4.5 million.

Documents submitted to MacKay's Supreme Court show that the two defendants' descriptions of the incident are quite different.

Elmir Enterprise's lawyer said that when the accident happened, Z was swimming near the bridge in the lagoon with his son on his back, and then he swam to an area with steep riverbed.

The lawyer said that the water depth in that area was about 2 meters, and Z couldn't touch the bottom, so the father and son "quietly sank".

No signs of pain or struggle.

"It was windy that day, and the ripples on the water made it impossible for people on the shore to observe the bottom of the lagoon."

"The lifeguards and others didn't notice that Z and his son were sinking."

However, the operators of the lagoon, that is, the local council, have different opinions. The Committee said that the river bed was gradually descending, not steep;

"Mr. Z was in trouble at first. He struggled to surface before he began to sink. So is his son. "

The parliament also said that a female tourist noticed that the father and son were underwater.

According to court documents, in June, 2065438+2007, Parliament issued a tender for life-saving services in lagoons. Prior to this, the life-saving service of the lagoon was undertaken by the Royal Australian Life-saving Association.

Ellmill Enterprises' statement was a bit unexpected. They said they had no experience in lagoon rescue:

"This is a new field, which is quite different from the swimming pool maintenance service."

It is reported that Ellmill Enterprises signed a lagoon lifesaving contract on September 20 17.

According to the court documents, the Parliament failed to provide guidance to Elmir enterprises, including the appropriate number of lifeguards, the best rescue location and no training.

Parliament admitted that there was a blind spot in the lagoon, but the accident did not happen in the blind spot.

The lawyer of Elmir Enterprise Company said that the Parliament failed to implement a proposal report submitted to them by the company, and the suggestions made in the report included:

The depth marking should be improved, the leaves on the water surface should be removed to improve the visibility, and the change of water depth should be marked more clearly with contrast color.

Ellmill Enterprises also said that Parliament did not conduct regular audits, at least not regular audits, which could find loopholes and correct them.

Parliamentary lawyers admit that they have not implemented the recommendations in the report:

"However, Parliament does not consider the implementation of recommendations as a necessary condition for fulfilling the duty of care."

The parliament called the existing signs "sufficient and appropriate", denied responsibility for the negligence in the accident, and said that the matters raised were not necessarily related to the drowning accident.

According to the report, at the time of the incident, there were two lifeguards at the scene, about 20 meters away from the drowning place of the father and son, within their sight.

According to court documents, two lifeguards are standing on the bridge chatting.

The Council said that the responsibility for the death of the father and son was due to the negligence of lifeguards, and Elmir Enterprise Company failed to provide professional services.

"Two lifeguards shouldn't talk, it's a distraction."

It is reported that the case will be mediated next month, and if the mediation is unsuccessful, a preliminary trial will be held early next year.

I hope that the two defendants will work hard after this.

Do your duty and avoid the tragedy from happening again!

I also hope that the deceased will rest in peace and the survivors will get out of their grief as soon as possible.
