in under the orders. if the police commissioner pays ryan $200.00 offices. right. hello p. a strange with the meteor in time. we did stuff a lot, but it was only zeus. people who shot killed dealt was a drug, was against the move, the in the coming days in rides across south with sydney. the police crept down on known criminals and their associates. eventually 24 men arrested. the people living in principle, we knew that was happening a couple years before. before that it wasn't anything new to us, but you could possibly be the only matter. one of one can up the police and i'm

glad that he did because suddenly change things a few years after that. so there was a lot of a lot of clean up, i guess him punch bowl. straight off i i think incidents like the matter of edward lee fica stuff very intensely, very quickly on having enough of a dialogue and narrative credibility. understanding with that public so that they have faith and can come forward and give you information and talk to you about the need would leave that in a series of incidents and staff with sydney around that time. 5 young police stuff . they're still alive after they station was fried with gunfire, but the gangsters don't go down without a fight. 12 days later, they open fire on the camera police station with semi automatic guns. 5 police officers rumble

a targets in the shooting gallery. in the drop by shooting of light came a police station was a confronting event, probably unprecedented. so it resonated with me is that it was a direct and very blunt challenge to authority to police and to government generally. and to society. have to say sort of a cowardly way, really of attacking someone and trying to intimidate them and threaten them without having to confront them. certainly the shooting of came a police station fitted into that category. a state election line. and both sides of politics compete to bang the law and order drum, the small minority of gangs that the focus, but an entire community and culture. feel the have more in order will prevail through a strong well resort. probably equipped police force these gangs will be wiped

rather than framing this as here is a community under threat from its own deviant rump is presented to the community and the water world as this is something that is particular and peculiar to this community. it's their problem, not else. and from then on the basis for the future, the bite is sit in a very nasty and toxic why i'm proud of my lamp. this cancelled me like, you know, even if you taught me how to respect us of an acceptance and that's the most important part at the height of the as lemme phobia. naughty a sally is employed at the local government family support worker in southwest sydney. i was always organizing on christmas hampers and christmas toys for family

and children. i called one client and she said not here. would you mind if i ask you, where are you from? i said, why are you asking me i'm from here. she said, no, no, no. what's your background? i see the only beneath she said, but she won't be muslim. you're not muslim, aren't you? i said, thanks god i'm, i'm was slim ah, in 2000 after immigrating during the live in a civil war, cala nadia thought i have saved for their family dream home next to punch ballpark . first, think more thinking about it to have a secure shelter for the family because coming from wool to have a secure shelter is, is very important that they've seen horrified by what they hear

unfortunately heating the gunshots in early morning. the 1st shock was, i mean, later on we knew the way from who we came. he said we looking for safety. and fortunately, as soon as you hear that has gunshots across the right from you, it was not a positive experience. the grandstand is actually, is a meeting point for all the gangs or all over sydney. after 12 o'clock, we got all these gang stand exchange drugs. they fought together to shoot, shoot together. gangsters will hang out across the, in the grand san at night. will be a haven for drug dealing, a haven for meeting out with prostitute would be just wasn't

a place that you would want to raise a family. i'd have to admit i, we all are 7 years old, 9 years old on the real is that police will be they need every single day call sally has enough. he rallied the neighbors and they take action or write a petition. it's all neighbor sign it sign the petition. i was paid hump out the police to come and told area and do more lie teak, as well as close the grants and didn't. and after 6 months, every month it's the problem is that the school is to get teased because by that put speed humps in every street in punch

bowl. it was pretty funny like nights ago he stayed home from the bus it's, it's funny but does wisdom behind that? because my dad started putting speed humps around the streets of punch, both the gangsters. the dogs with the fast cars always want to speed down every street. they let them know it's not welcoming punch, but as the community works with the police, the hope is the media focus on criminal activity will finally die down. but things are about to get a whole lot worse. the me, sydney olympic celebration model, multicultural nation. just a few kilometers away. the liberty, the trailing community is about to be outraged. i

start my shift early in the morning. there's been a suspected abduction and possibly a sexual assault of a young female and information that we had led us to believe that it could be in one of the parks, in banks, down senior constable. danny mccarty is lebanese, it's trillion. he's born and bred in south with sydney, schooled at punch bowl boys high in 2000, even new, comfortable with less than a year on the 4th. and nothing prepares him for what he's about to find me. i'm walking through this park and i can say got tissues on the, on the ground. and then i noticed an older gentleman why

caucasian mile? and he's hunched over something and he seems to be distressed. i can say young came along the ground so i don't know what was happening. so i'm really kind of holding to keep skipping more from from the young girl. but then i realize it is it's a father. so unfortunately in that situation, the father is found his daughter 1st and it was clear that had been a sexual assault. it was a very, very, very traumatic experience. very, very hard thing to see. and later on, information came out that it was part of a number of gang gripes that have happened in southwest city. very, very upset, very, very sad. and it was to me, one of the most deplorable, actually you can even to commit on someone else. and just thinking what that go would have been going through at the time is just horrendous. now being that i've

got to, i'm the father of a young girl. it's just something that i can comprehend. and i would never want to be in that, in that father's position. and when i went out to mother me, the park in which it happened was only a few houses up from what harris house being so close to home, the media, and the police. and the stories, i mean i have 3 all the sisters and it's scary to to know that these things happen so close to home. when the rape occurs. mohammed cub rudely is a student at punch ball boys high. some days later, a new attack is a stark lesson in the cruelty of sex crime. painstaking later police pays together a chilling pattern of crime in a gang of cane ages is raping young girls using unusual and degrading violence.

but because most of the accused are under 18, their names are not made public. what is revealed is that they are all lebanese australian, not much happens about them until will after the olympics, when the, when the accused brought to court and suddenly the meteor erupt. what happened next is that there was an intense player of media and comic attention about what happened about the backgrounds of the use, and they will use that were involved from southwest sidney. i think it really shook the community towards coal. i think it really made every family question whether they were how they were raising their kids because it was something that was on foreseen or unheard of thinkable that people so local, so close to home could do something, not terrible to somebody and think that they had

a right to do that when the media storm erupt. name at koobooley mohammed future wife is a teenager in high school. it was very scary. i think a lot of families became people for their daughters. my carmen, the person, me thinking, i'm never going to marry 11 days moved from god because that's what they liked. and that's disgusting. the young women still just teenagers. i've really been degrading ordeal in the courtroom. hearing again and again, the horrifying crime committed against in all they were 4 victims. 3 separate attacks in several locations in sidney south waived. the daily telegraph in particular finds the victims and gets them to repeat allegations about the words that the silence used against. one of the victims said she was referred to as an ozzy peak and was told by one of the ripest. i'm

going to live style the woods lib style flash around the nation. suddenly, the lebanese is trailyn communities and accused. right, the racial reasons. people to the court demonstrated that is responsible for these vicious and sickening, grimes as liberties muslims identify themselves as liberties muslims formed in the plan of attack as liberties muslims by ellen jones introduces a new dimension. he moved from the notion which is more widely hill, about ripe, so they are a small minority, often psychotic, sick minded people who at the age of the social world. and he places them in the middle as an exemplar of all muslim men across the community.

they were the threats received. there were messages left in little boxes, there were threats that muslim women would be dragged from the straits and raped in revenge. and walking the streets. you absolutely looked at differently. it looked as if he could be another another, right? this delay could be part of that gang. oh, you know. and, and because all these guys came from the area i was living in the time it affected me even more. it's, it shook my identity to the world. them on you who are, was bought the world so me differently of all the all right. bills and you told that they were christians, capital, build your exact model. we did not go right. anybody finally, the accused, a convicted and their names released. this is belinda gaff,

the man at the center of one of the nation's most notorious crimes for gang rape. that he, for the leasing of the suppression order was welcome you name the community needed the heaviest sentence of all is reserved for the 18 year old gang. later. the message is clear. loud scuff serving an unprecedented 55 year general term, the gang rape on appeal. the sentence is reduced to 31 years and name that quote li believes the convicted did not understand the damage they did to their own community. does not remorse. and i think that was the most awful disgusting thing. and it was an example of with quote, was applying general detriments. and i think the example was definitely set. i think there was a strong society thought the lebanese muslim community were perpetrators of this type of behavior. when really what it said was victim us. individuals in our

community, even more guilty behind bows. but for the community, the trial goes on. we were torn apart by the whole event and the way, the way it was publicized, we felt that we needed to defend ourselves against the media. we need to defend ourselves against a politician. we need to defend ourselves against old. the hate mail that we received. we went afraid we were just afraid at that time, we didn't know what to do was only live in ice bosoms to experience this. many liberties christians also experienced it because in the wider public ignorant mind, it was simply enough to be arab lebanese from the middle east, irrespective of religion or faith. lack of it. a community is under media age

the and as races, tensions increase to, to the police presence on the street, the drug gangs are the most obvious targets. but as the crackdown continued, the underworld drug supply continues to spread. the cabbage didn't stop. the drug distribution didn't stop, want to take a run around. unfortunately, there's someone need to take the place almost immediately. me. i tell you straight punch bowl one time to sidney's most notorious gangs. the street has returned to its old suburban line. most of these people are now in prison or enroll put symmetry but like a virus, the drug trade spreads to other areas of the city. or develop new process of high

visibility high impact pushing through the through the walls, police. so we would get out the 100 police run operations through bank shannon, the streets of punch ball that came by growing acura and those other areas to turn as many criminals as we call me and punch volunteers stability and unfortunately seems to be as a, as a calling process with the place wake up, realize that there's an issue. quite a few people are arrested and taken to prison and everything goes back to normal. and then the next generation comes through and the young kids who are influenced by money and the, or of buying a big ta gangster or a criminal who hang around with these flags and the mentors in the board up to do this is a job. and unfortunately, they could be schoolmates or family relatives,

or dropouts, or, or good kids at times me. and for wednesday, societies punishment failed to act as a deterrent. when i got out a job within 2 weeks, i was back to doing the same stuff that i was doing because i tried to form the draw by tried to do something good and i just gave up. i was just so used to living the fun lifecycle after a year in prison and still on parole. westy is back into dealing drugs in the city to become a slave to the club, to the customers, into the money and just takes your mind to solve your power, your energy, and you're going to control of it's. you've made the steps to the for make money in a fast way and it consumes, you know what i was doing was illegal and on you that

more time to get quotes. finally come, westy is court and his sentence to another term in prison. but while he's in jail, he writes down his life story as a warning to young people not to follow his path in climb. ah, back in southwest sydney, it's a law abiding lebanese, a strong and people who are now faced with picking up the pieces of their shattered community. ah, say, fell disgusted by the way it was. criminal element within the community have being conducted themselves the community and felt there were victims of all these elements. there were victim of the gang rapers. there were victims of the media

that were victims of as a politician. there were victim of his hardest, at the time that didn't know how to react to it. the over whelming feeling was of disgust, bus communities, and i have no recourse, no protection. so they become cynical, angry, depressed multiculturalism as it were. took this horrendous kick to the stomach already reeling. any hope of recovery is knocked out by world events. nobody could have predicted without warning litany this radians suddenly have the greatest challenge. as arabic aliens, a brand of the enemy within and the community faces a new threat. after september, over the young people have been under different kinds of fluid. it's

no longer the get rich, quick no longer drug. it's even worse than that was with religious radicalization. next time on, once upon a time in punch bowl, why i've been the 1st train in history is prosecuted under new law designed to protect the nation from carry them. he wanted to belong. someone took him under his wing, taught him the wrong thing about islam. you can call radicalism, and you can call it from the mentalism extremism. i'd call it someone calling up a hill. and racism ran its ugly head as its training on lebanese a told to go back to where they came from. the last thing, if it's fair of a person who just seems like they're running for their life on the boardwalk,

at that age. i think for those who are watching it, just, how can it gets me in 2001 right around. very well. our australian is accused of being enemies within and attacking the way of life. treated like we were all suspects. we were all struggling to adapt to the new found home out there. it's fluids, history of the lebanese community and australia. once upon a time and punched on out era, ah, ah
