i, the school in the seventy's and eighty's were totally different from what this school are these days. there was no other choice for them. there were i, my and lottie within the system, they shall be in the victim, eyes marginalize picked on. and unfortunately, 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 bachelor at home. the parents speak little english, and many is dradian born children speak no arabic. they can't communicate with their parents anymore because the parents are still living. so back in 970 is 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 parents, it was speaking to an arabic all the time. and you think maybe these guys, right? maybe am walks maybe, so you're forming more liberties on strategy. what am i on right now? and for parents struggling with english, the education of their children becomes at the v. a test. niandra bashes 7 children are expected to do well at school. and she never has an education one day very well. the office was my dad that he had came 2nd in the class. you've seen him in quite a civilian i student. now my mother on the other hand never went to school. she

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 time. val heading to the university degree with san looking forward to the lessons of the strange. oh yeah, let me complain. then i'll be in dublin, there's yolanda young. how do you live? and i can go to the front of the school and took that off to your guys. principals. got your sandwich suspended for so and so, and i'm transferring to that i'm doing well at school. and principal just wants to compliment me and complain you on raising me why you have and as we walk and

walking out of the office, all sorts of good over here. the big 2, joe walked into the office and he was in my dad from the, from my dads days at the shop and your son got suspended for 1234, and dodge, turned around, looked at me like what you're good. you're not getting the job. that was another story, the other building over that one. robert, are you with them? i dropped the bill actually yesterday, give debbie belligerent, kevin holly. it was really nice to deal with the rogers. i'll really station to go get dollars. i should michelin and after school on the street, southwest sydney, many a straight in liberty, 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 getting shirts and drinks and lilies and stuff like that ought to get 100 dollars. you know, just, it wasn't so much to still stop bills and gentlemen for us. i was hanging on a couple blocks that i shouldn't 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 any prospects in the community that you live in? it's really appealing to do the wrong thing. get quick money. it's really appealing cuz for that one moment you could be a little bit of a super stuck. if you feel you belong to someone or something, you know a bill, you get

a bill and you get to find someone that foods assigned. why like you, and be going to be your friends to the door when about a minority of those kids who felt trapped in the ganglion mentality, rebuild against 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 the new lemonade, the trailer, in a building, a cohesive community. in southwest complex

political conflict involving christian and islamic militias is left behind 11 instead. southware sydney reflects a different reality in living and i was raised in a very respectful community. i remember them a flim families with guy to the christian neighbors to celebrate christmas. and then that a christian would come to visit muslim neighbors to celebrate ramadan, we only exchanged, i'm sprayed, we supported each other, we've always been open, respect, oh, delivered either. trailing community is a mix of christians and muslims. but here in la camber parts of the old european immigrant and glow community still struggle with the

unfamiliar faith of islam. luck in the most open in the late seventy's, enter the critics of multiculturalism. it is a symbol of a dangerous cultural divide. the building of the mosque creates a lot of local intention and hostility, this opposition from longwood limbs to its presence. in fact, it's one of the 1st of the many mollusks that are challenged by local communities all over sydney in the long time that really changes partly because people who don't like move out and people who do like it move in. and so the, the neighborhood becomes increasingly islamic, there are pre homes bookshops, how long butcher ease, very good liberties,

takeaways restaurants. it looks a bit like a small town in living on some years. ah, but just at the lebanese australian community embraced peaceful coexistence in southwest 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 of norman historian, mike some major speech and then writes book condemning what he sees as the emerging tribalism in australia caused by the arrival of only the new immigrants. the views of the 3 bodies in camera, a very different to the views of those people who live amongst the new migraines and have to work with them. my name

with the races. tensions writhing, the liberal opposition later. john howard thinned the stark message to the supporters of multicultural astray alia 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 strange, unique and strong. and anyone who deviates from that is seen to be honest writing and in my room. and i mean, you might do that. the operator 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 always community who actually born in front of the 1st wave against every one that is islam make everyone that is arabic and every one that was a hit job or had a funny sound ignite. 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 it did have an impact and i'll never

forget mom he was, he's having her job is sort of someone attempted to take his job off. so 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 australians has been struggling to find a place in a so called multicultural country. now for the 1st time in our post for history, refugees are being asked to declare their religions. arab australian who saw you on the 1st step. i already answered this question or when i started citizen, all 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 the hour or restrict because up to now the multicultural story is your both. and now suddenly, they may not recall for was this time over 20 years of pressure on this community. we have lived in an atmosphere like we have been in a picture. they are a big day carnival at golf woodland park. preceded peacefully until like this afternoon. the shadow of the gulf war and a perceived divide between anglo and arab astray, loomed over an arab strategy and family festival. in the 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 news house was police

and how ignored it. police officers at that time where they could have diffuse a situation very easily, but they were having this attitude in your face and things escalated. local doctor jamal refill 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 deal campaign many in the arab community believe the violence ignite because the police have no respectful them.

i mean, his occasions way for people would be sitting in the 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's a belief target i distinctly remember ones who are on the north shore, driving around at night. there was a die off, you know, something we got pulled out for some police and essentially got to make the lie on the ground. and the worst of the effect of this is not your area. we don't want your client, he's don't come back. but the reality is that the police a facing a crime wave that same golfing south west sydney and it's young,

lebanese australians who are often to blame. i'm not saying it was a model model citizen did straight to the disappointment of his parents fan. okay. he's not interested in the family, fruit and vegetable business for sam and his friends. they're easier, far more lucrative ways to make money. me a lot of young men that were gonna be doing something illegal and the police just said no way of combat. ah. the most profitable illegal activity of all if the racket known as car rebirthing a stolen vehicle is fitted with the serial numbers from erect car to give it a new identity. so i would steal. i have a very high profile, very expensive my vehicle, get a rig and re booth within days. and what would pop out was

a car that she could hardly tell or almost couldn't tell was right. if i got to seem to get it, i could rebirth a car within a day, there was big money in all my my son is 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 9 195996 more than 47000 cars the 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 has 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 have 3 and 4 car shields. they were obviously cow rebirth, and they been taking place. there was a hydra never the enemy because the stop you from making your easy money. mm hm. okay, is convicted of a number of offences that escapes a jail sentence. kyra industries that it often border time use of the media increasingly demonizes with 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. cooling people, races names and delivering these kids in places like punch bowl getting caught up in the center, go off. as hostility increases, the police focus on a new source of conflict. lebanese australian gangsters are 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 wind, and people who were at that time daily 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, lower abiding, suburban, straight to a drug drive through supplying much of staff with young people with drug users as a way, a 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 in cash create

a powerful criminal underworld. it was a new phenomena. this was the development of the lebanese organized crime model of crime was violence, it was voluntary, was predicated on violence and fee. if people went to the police station to give them any kind of information, those criminal element would know about it and they come to retaliate. we could not trust the police at that time. we wanted to, but there was that sense of fear. things are 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 to see the phone. but one of the most intimate race riot in his

rang and history to the training and only the needs a told to go back to where they came from. the alarm. and the thing is the struggle flag being carried away, which i think the inflection ever 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 to cease by violent crime and drugs confronted by racism and integration. i just 0 traces the history of 1st generation lebanese australians, exploring the conflicts and the struggle for acceptance. once upon
