The part of the Mary River where the guy was taken has some of the highest population densities of salt water crocodiles in Australia. The one that took him has been described as being about 5m (nearly 17 feet long). The victim was an idiot. Given that he obviously won't be breeding, it's natural selection operating just as it should.
Reminds me of a conversation in my all-time favorite movie:
Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are.
Ripley: Yes, there are, aren't there?
Newt: Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley: Most of the time it's true.
