that mentality that existed at the school develop some sense of non belonging. and so many, it's trailing lebanese families. the battles in the school yard turn into battle at home. the parents speak little english, and many is dradian born children speak no arabic. they cannot communicate with their parents anymore because the parents are still living so back in 19 seventies, in the middle east. and the kid is living in the 1980s early nineties in australia . and it's very different. and that communication between the families got lost. you're getting called, wog, and hope can were wide and all sorts of a school. and then you, you come home. you paris, it was speaking to an arabic all the time. and you think maybe these guys, right. maybe i am a walks. maybe. so you fighting? yeah i'm, i live in a one strategy. what am i on? i know and for parents struggling with english,

the education of their children become of the v. a test. niandra bashes 7 children are expected to do well at school. and she never has an education one day, very smart wisdom or did that he, if he ever came 2nd in the class, you've seen him in quite a civilian student. yeah, my mother, on the other hand, never went to school. she does natalie roy, arabic or even english metal. she's never ever experienced being in the classroom and be told by john, which i want phenomenal because my mother is a very, very strong lady in a very, very smiling, become any time dickie. she had him way and she came to me mom, what states which i didn't tell them i carried the right until

them have to be smart. you have to read it, have to do deep. have to do that inside my heart. some like my wife and the amount that's all the time i told them, i want to be doctor, i want to be say let's i want to be computed man, i want to do something for future me . so l care and the younger brother fan both go to punch ball boys. hi. there was probably about 70 people out of my years that actually got into a university of some sort. were still young back then, but you could choose which party really wanted to take but at school, they are already on different times, foul heading towards the university degree. we've san looking forward to the lessons of the strange sense

complainant with minimal integral windows, yolanda holloway who lived in front of her school and took that off to you guys. principals, john? yes, i'm going to spend the for so and so, and i'm trends on today. i'm doing well at school, and principal just want to compliment me and compliment you on raising me either way you have and as we walk and walking out of the office, all sorts of good over here, the, the arbiter joe walked into the office and he was in my dad's from the, from my dad's days at the shop and he said, all you now you're sound good. suspended for 1234. and just under i looked at me like what you're good. you're not getting the job. you know, that was another story. that got another building over that one. robert negative begins with dr. bill,

actually something that can be belligerent. kevin holly was like me to deal with the rogers. well, i'll really station that to go get dollars. i should michelin and after school on the streets of south with sydney, many astray and liberties teenagers drift away from the parents. dreams of a university education and drift towards the excitement of easy money from petty crime was to break into places for the sake of bloody getting shirts and drinks and lilies and stuff like that old. to get $100.00. you know, just, it wasn't so much to still stop bills and gentlemen, for us, i was hanging around the couplet, blacks that i should be hanging. now we will get into,

fortunately of the day when you don't have many prospects with your education, we have many prospects with your work. when have any prospects for the future? we have many prospects in the community that you live in. it's really appealing to the wrong thing, get quick money. it's really appealing because to that one moment, you could be a little bit of a superstar. if you feel you belong to someone or something, you know, or a bill, you get a review and going to find someone that food is time. i like you. and they're going to be your friends to the door when about a minority of those kids who felt trapped in the ganglion mentality, the rebuild against their teachers, against principal rebuild against a place. they looked at criminal activities as a way out of poverty rather than education. crime is often the 1st thing to

flourish as does so because it validates people's identity. it gives them power in a wound in which they are otherwise palace. it's very attractive for a lot of people to go that way. the me almost a decade after the exit is from lebanon begins, then you live in a trailer and a building, a cohesive community. in south with complex political conflict involving christian and islamic militias is left behind 11 instead. southwick sydney reflects a different reality in live and on i was raised in a very respectful community. i remember them a slim families would go to the christian neighbors to celebrate christmas,

and then the christian would come to visit muslim neighbors to celebrates ramadan, we only exchanged sprayed, we supported each other, we've always been open, respect delivered, either trailing community is a mix of christians and muslims, i said, but here in like amber parts of the old european immigrant and anglo community still struggle with the unfamiliar faith of islam. ah, bill again, the mosque opened in the late seventy's. and the critics of multiculturalism is a symbol of a dangerous cultural divide. the building of the mosque creates a lot of local intention and hostility. this opposition from long was ones to its presence. in fact, it's one of the 1st of the many mosques that are challenged by local communities

all over sydney in the long time that really changes partly because people who don't like it, move out. and people who do like it move in. and so the neighborhood becomes increasingly islamic they are pray, homes, book shops, how long, butcher ease, very good liberties take was restaurants. it looks a bit like a small town in living on some years. ah. but just beneath this trading community embrace peaceful coexistence in south west sydney, they find themselves under attack on a national scale. influential forces. question if a stranger can cope with immigrants and their foreign ways, multiculturalism,

as now issued by the federal government, invites national disunity. jeffrey blaney and norman historian makes a major speech and writes book condemning what he sees as the emerging tribalism in australia caused by the arrival of all these new immigrants. the. the views of the 3 parties in camera. very different to the views of those people who live amongst the new migraines and have to work with them on my one line with races. tensions writhing, the liberal opposition later. john howard, fin the stark message to the supporters of a multicultural astray lawyer. the only thing that can unite this country and keep this country united by sea cor, australian values to which all of us can subscribe. and that is his vision of

what makes a straight, unique and strong. and anyone who deviates from that is seen to be honest writing and in some are you, are you my room? and i mean, you might do that. the operation desert storm is right on schedule for the course. so i live in the world. understand big countries cannot invite small neighbors and get away with the 1st gulf war shift, the media focus to arab australians, the simmering suspicions of old anglo astray lawyer again to boil the backlash from the gold for we have not being ready for something like that. especially as the female side of our community who actually born in front of the 1st wave against everyone. that is islam make everyone that is arabic and every one

that was a hit job or had a funny sound ignite, a just show the ugly face of racism and such a way that we could not cope was at that time. in me was in the 12 at the time of the golf all and, and, and it did have an impact and i'll never forget mom who is he's having her job is sort of someone attempted to take his job off. well, i could never understand why, and then there was another time when somebody sped at her and i thought, what a low act she's got, nothing to do. what's going on? we're actually proud of striving for a generation lebanese is trailyn, has been struggling to find a place in a so called multicultural country. now for the 1st time in our post war history,

refugees are being asked to declare their religions, arab australian who saw you on your 1st struggle. i already answered this question, are we starting citizen, my law, these dos trailer and i shouldn't be asked about this. this is the 1st time they are straining identity has ever been challenged in this sort of way. it's the 1st time they are being confronted with a choice between being on our strike because up to now, the multi cultural story is your both. and now suddenly they may not um vehicle for this type of 20 piece of pressure on this community. we have lived in an atmosphere like we have been and i shop

they are a big carnival at golf. woodland park proceeded tastefully until like this afternoon . the shadow of the gulf war and a perceived divide between anglo and arab australia, loomed over, an arab was trailing and family festival in a fight between 2 young women escalate and the conflict intensified further. as more police respond, it just highlighted how distant the community was from the new south was police, and how ignored it. police officers at that time where they could have diffuse a situation very easily. but their way of having this attitude in your face and things escalated, local doctor jamal, re fi, is that the festival with his family?

i believe it would be a different story. none of the food stamps were used to move the mom, the many in the arab community believe divine and ignite because the police have no respectful them. i'm his occasions, way for people would be sitting in a car and for no apparent reason. other than will lebanese or middle eastern that pulled over and stretched out of the full ca, searched month along the road. and it happened quite a quite a bit. after leaving punchbowl boys high fell l. okay, is it university on the threshold of a management career?

but he still believes he, the police target i distinctly remember ones who are on the north shore, driving around at night. there was a tie off, you know, something we got pulled up by some police and essentially got to make the lie on the ground. and still worst of the effect of this is not your area. we don't want your client, these don't come back. but the reality is that the police a facing a crime wave that same golfing south with sydney and it's young, lebanese australians who are often to blame. i'm not saying it was a model of model citizen i did straight to the disappointment of his parent. santa care is not interested in the family, fruit and vegetable business for sam and his friends. there are easier, far more lucrative ways to make money. me a lot of young men that were doing something illegal and the police just had no way of combat. ah,

the most profitable illegal activity of all if the racket known as car rebirthing a stolen vehicle, it fitted with the serial numbers from erect car to give it a new identity. i would steal. i was very high profile there, expensive my vehicle, get a rig and re booth within days. and what would pop out was a car that she could hardly tell almost couldn't tell was really booth if i got to seem to get it. i could rebirth a car within a day. there was big money in all my might it's i'm driving around the flesh cars and making the money. so it was just sort of say someone else so much money to do and started doing the same thing and was just crazy money didn't have to work. you

up when you want audio not in just one year between 995996. more than 47000 cars stolen in new south wales. as the racket peaks, the police hit back the car wreck, it is the biggest so far uncovered in australia and it's taken 2 years of police investigations to unravel. police have recovered $120.00, stolen cars with a value of 2 and a half $1000000.00. we will be doing right back out of houses and had $3.00 and $4.00 cash hills. they were obviously cow rebirth. and they been taking place there was a 100 over the enemy because the stop you from making your easy money. mm hm. okay, is convicted of a number of offenses, but escapes a jail sentence. kyra industries that it often bought

a towering ease of the media, increasingly demonizes south sydney as a hot bed of crime. john howard suite de power after 13 years in opposition and one nations pauline hanson is elected in queensland. ah, get rid of this multi culturalism because that is wanting to bother us also as a nation, we are multi racial. we are strong and, and be proud of it. with the return of john howard's as prime minister multiculturalism has been abandoned as a national audiology. and so people are feeling much more comfortable in the period of pauline hanson about talking about race or anything racist remarks. calling people racist names and delivering these kids in places like punch bowl getting

caught up in the mentor, go off. as hostility increases, the police focus on a new source of conflict. lebanese australian gangsters, ramping up the drug records. there was a lot of illegal activities taken place from members of our community and was no shame whatsoever. a lot of drug smuggling, cocaine and when and people who were at that time dealing and distributing it was a sense of pride because it was a way for them to make week money. these are small and numbers, but what existing they did happen to low p a straight punch bowl goes from decent.

laura biding suburban, straight to a drug drive through supplying much of staff with young people with drug users that were drug addicts and their family would not do anything about it because it was, it's under the carpet because i don't want anyone else to know that their son or daughter is a drug addict, a community isn't denial, as drugs and cache create a powerful criminal underworld, it was a new phenomena. this was the development of illinois organized crime. model of crime was violence, it was voluntary, was predicated on volunteer and fee. if people went to the police station to give them any kind of information, there was criminal element would know about it and they'll come to retaliate. we could not trust the police at that time. we wanted to,

but there was that sense of fear on things or the pitch. people are short, fuse drugs everywhere. there are guns everywhere. it's the wall waste. next time on, once upon a time in punch bowl, ah, a lot of the lebanese young gangsters thought that they were unbreakable, and untouchable, and the seeds this phone. but one of the most intimate race riot in his, in history training and only the needs a told to go back to where they came from, the alarm and the thing is struggling and flag being carried away, which i think these totally inflections never be carried. yeah, no idea why and you know you got my culture and you have that much of what we've done to use

me. ah, ah ah, ah, how i was saying some squall, showers moving across southern parts of australia quite a lively little system. this one just scraping its way across the far south. so w way pushing through south australia and we'll see what a squeeze on the ice a policy. so simply re strong winds just rattling over towards victoria and pushing through as you go through the next day or so. so if you do catch a shower is going to be on the live site, horizontal rain for some, for

a time. this blustery system brush pushes through, could see some while the wet weather, which was great dividing range cooler than of late incipient 19 celsius, wetter than the lights impressed, but with some showers or long spells of rain, which are making their way towards new zealand. gonna turn very wet and windy as we go on through the next couple days. that rain really setting in here. me nasty weather as we go on through saturday and i was seeing some nasty weather recently across the northeast of china. some heavy rain here just pushing out towards the yellow sea. there has been some flooding and there's more heavy rain in the full cost over the next couple of days. is that west or whether they're full friday still very much in places. we go one through saturday, it is likely to cause for the flooding, then that will be some heavy showers to for time across a good part of the korean peninsula, southern areas of japan. but further north is lossy fine and try the the remaining gym.

i was born in the family of never left under the could do, i mean in my mind of everybody else to go and look. so that came out i i, i had to go bust cities and at least to get the head, begging for food and just working and lived in a 2 meter. that's the cleanser. oh who i go

to a did, did that to me just sometimes exceed and my friend is not adding something. so what i go poor people i take between that each and the for the very big change to i i am sorry, i should be about raising prices and farther down to the time we bring you the

stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world. we live in time in that that they don't have a boss has the task of fixing a war torn economy, counting the cost on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm sorry. i'm to my, the welcome to the news our life from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes, crashes in lebanon after funding to designate san erie abundance efforts to form a government tipping the country further into crisis. the afghan taliban and pockets.
