CANBERRA, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- A third tourist in a week has died while exploring Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef.
The 60-year old English man could not be revived after fellow divers found him unconscious on the sea floor.
The man was on his second dive of the day from the boat Silver Sonic off the coast of Port Douglas, a popular tourist destination, 1700 km north of Queensland's capital of Brisbane.
Col McKenzie, executive director of the Association of Marine Park Tourism, said that those on board the boat and emergency services did everything in their power to save the man's life.
"They brought him back to the surface, got him on board the boat where they administered the oxygen and used a defibrillator," McKenzie told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Saturday.
"They called it in to emergency services, a doctor was flown out to the Agincourt helicopter pad, and the doctor took part in that resuscitation event, but again, unsuccessful."
McKenzie said that the Silver Sonic had operated for 11 years and taken 230,000 divers to the coral reef without any fatalities.
"Accidents like this are a tragedy for the surviving family members, the crew and the passengers," he said.
On Wednesday two French tourists in their mid-70s suffered heart attacks and died while snorkeling on the reef at Michaelmas Cay, 55 km southeast off the coast of Port Douglas.
A cardiologist said that the French tourists were likely stung by Irukandji jellyfish, a jellyfish the size of a fingernail that is one of the most venomous creatures in the world.
Daniel Gschwind, CEO of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, said the sequence of events was incredibly tragic.
"But we have to bear in mind every year 2 million people visit the Great Barrier Reef with commercial operators -- that's a great big number," Gschwind told the ABC.
"Many of them or increasingly... are elderly, and as a generation are far more adventurous, so they end up in situations that carry a slightly increased risk from perhaps the normal circumstances in which they live.
"Tragic as this is, we have to keep it in perspective both in terms of the numbers but also the circumstances under which we travel."
WELLINGTON, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Opposition lawmakers on Monday wasted no time in reminding New Zealand' new government leaders of the challenges they now face.
The country's bourgeoning housing crisis was the top priority for new Prime Minister Bill English and Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett, who were elected earlier Monday, according to the Labour and Green parties.
Labour Party leader Andrew Little said the "right-wing rump" of the ruling center-right National Party was reasserting itself with the election of English to replace John Key, who resigned last week after eight years as Prime Minister.
"We have pressing problems facing New Zealand right now, and we need to see solutions urgently," Little said in a statement.
"Is the change in leadership really going to make this government understand that thousands of New Zealanders don't have a roof over their heads, or can't get the hospital care they need, and that parents worry that their kids are not getting the education they deserve," said Little.
"How will he solve the housing crisis? Will he build houses and crack down on speculators?"
Little highlighted differences between English and new Finance Minister Steven Joyce, who both say tax-cuts are on the table ahead of next year's general election, and early contenders for the leadership, Police Minister Judith Collins and Health Minister Jonathan Coleman.
"Will he have the courage to listen to Judith Collins and agree to put more police on our streets to keep communities safe?" asked Little.
"How will he deal with Jonathan Coleman who wants health spending to be prioritized over tax cuts that he and new Finance Minister Steven Joyce favor?"
The Green Party also called on English to build more affordable homes, close tax loopholes for property speculators, and end homelessness.
"Bill English needs to make fixing the housing crisis a top priority and he should start by committing his government to building tens of thousands of affordable homes," Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei said in a statement.
"I think Bill English knows that one of the most effective ways to fix the broken housing market and address property speculation would be a capital gains tax (excluding the family home) -- he just hasn't had the guts to follow through with implementing it."
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has repeatedly warned that the overheated housing market poses a threat to the country's financial stability and has implemented lending controls, but these have had minimal impact in curbing prices.
