a country. they all call home me was lot of time on the weekends as a kid to during summer. it was as if, thanks down or punch fall, had migrated to the park. ah, growing up in the kinda mohammed crudely thinks of quintinella as he saw my backyard. ah, it was full of our souls full of revenues, drums and barbecues, and hobbled bobbies again, as we call them full of all the wonderful things that it was that was normal to us. and it was great because it was, it was safety, it was and it was fun. was fun as a kid for the okay, is living in punch bowl. quintinella is the family beach. just as it is for

generations of western suburb families. we go play football on this and we went swimming at the age. it was like of age. i've never had an issue going to chronology. did yours interact with the locals? probably not. but who just like any other person on the beach? never an issue. while i was just driving from crinoline, i've been down there with over 30 years and no one's ever set it back to me or looked at me in the wrong way. or i see with my in laws, my sister in law and my brother in law to nowadays and commons and whatever else. and no one's ever said about it to me in any way, shape or form. one of the things that was very clear about was nobody knew what was going to happen when they came to power and 9096. how the government specifically got read off the strain in multicultural research program. and that, that had

a really quite profound effect because nobody was talking to anybody about what's going on. there was no, nobody was actually tracking what was happening and communities. and so there was a sort of unraveling of social knowledge about what was happening and struggling. i feel like something was drilling, but in hindsight, you could actually say now that all of those things that were coming into play were building up to the crescendo. like many in the lebanese is trailing community. lebanese born teacher had div is aware of the danger to light. whether you go back to the golf or the mid september live, and then the gang rides in the other things that were occurring. they've been a continual said. arabic empties, make these other people. these are others that i want to be striving that to quite somebody honestly. and when can happen to me, click on it and i was surprised. i was suppose bullet was possible that

it was just a matter of time me. and now with the anniversary of the bali bombing just to month in the past, the few fit for quintinella to ignite. there's a clear line between 911 and the events of corolla, 4 years later. it's alon, that's fashioned by the increasing tension between the why does society and live in a strain ends of muslim faith for white angler. youth 911 provides a justification for moral outrage about live in a muslims. it's almost as though they are prime to explode.

all that's needed is a spark. after months of mounting tension on sunday december, the 4th, a scuffle breaks out between some volunteer lifesavers and a group of teenagers, described as mediterranean or from the mid to late volunteers. lie side is bashed while giving up their weekend to help others who shouldn't shove, and that which would have interest. but certain media outlets wanted to raise the ugly racism again. liberal community, when angels might and you got more north than i was any community you got any community you want and i can get you a lot to tell me like so many community but live in a community news talking use the min. now they not, i can still pipe not for the 1st time. over the next few days, the media fan,

the flames of racism. the message is clear. arabs are attacking australian culture and values. what grubbs will i tell you what, what ups this law, whether slept middle east and grand, we are not allowed to side, but i'm saying that there was a license that came from the agitation of people like alan jones. and there was a license that came from the wide sense that liberated muslims in particular were a source of danger and threat within australia society. it's not just to be released and bought into the weekend. it's thousands of dollars, a very long beach. and it's going to been taken over by the scum. what is it about us that you have so much for name at car boot, lee? the vitriol is hard to take. the media didn't say anything to positively contribute

. oh crit. com to the situation in any way. all they did was promote slander, perpetuate vilification, perpetuate discrimination and racism. and it was really, really hurtful me 4 days before the riot announcer alan jones raids out a message sent in by a listener. my suggest is to invite by the bike against the president numbers at coronado railway station. one of these liberties sugs arrived anywhere at the price of admission to watch these cowards scurry back on to the trying for the return for the lay is we will really, really afraid. the voice of moderation was silenced by the views that we were hearing on the radio dog by show was so awful that i felt ashamed to call myself australian. at that time by newspapers and radio, people sent thousands of text messages. all that week was i

questioned them of a motion. we could see them and the heat or isaac 7 30 am sunday, december the 11th crowd. begin to gather at cornell, a beach normally attend police on patrol today. 160 the i think that was about 270000 as they missed being sent on that day to teach the liberties thugs, alissa the by 2005. sergeant craig campbell has worked the cornell a beat for 4 years, but this weekend he senses there's something different in the air. was sort of like

a village, fair atmosphere, those people having bobbies and those are the rock ply and that i was well, the war bumper to bumper. and i saw a woman walking down the footpath. i a cruise or a while. i was sort of drinks. i like 8 o'clock in the morning and i normally say that i she turned to the boys and said it is going to to shit by lunchtime boys. you watch you watch. yeah. and i also lot look me think so talking. oh yeah. why, why, why, why? i'm not putting the corolla rule over there,

the boys went down and caused the problems. what i'm saying is racism in this country is very se carla. grandfather bought about justice johnson. i was the ah, lunchtime the police employ street trying to stop the crowd, increasing the wheels. i deployed right blocks in southern sydney and east and sydney to stop people from coming in. because we didn't want to add fuel to the fire by simply letting everybody get. yeah. alarm and the thing is so many angry faces so many pushing and shoving through struggling flag been carried

in away. which on i think these charlie inflection ever be carried. yeah. the, the, the, the strain in flag has many meanings. people use them as beach towels as bikinis. but in the case of chronology they were used as flags of on the flag should be a symbol that unites every month. it was trying to be used as a means of dividing people. it was just a really, really confronting thought to think defensive. you know,

you'd have no idea who i am. you have knowledge about my culture and you've become hide off that much. what we've done to you? yeah. when pm. sunday, december 11th, the 5000, right. as many fueled by alcohol have turned the streets into a hunting ground. what is going on any bricks and i'll crack in the labs. anyone who isn't white is the last thing. image there of a, of a person who's just simply, they're running for their life along the, on the boardwalk, at the beach. and i think i think for those who were watching it, just how could it get to the police the need to buy and defy? marilee fumed by alcohol. but for george basha,

the real cause is endemic racism. when you say to all laugh while you're laughed, i was a slap. is what a joke. you know, i don't know how much would the me and there's no way they could convince me every single person that was drunk. i think a little confusing in the prove that somebody just to me just doesn't yelling. he fortunately there are only a few lebanese australians on the beach, like most of the nation, the community witness the hora unfold via radio and tv. so having a barbecue of my place, my brother said, his wife, whose from chronology i remember the more information that came out through the radio started to happen on tv. i saw my brother sammy's face changed and he just couldn't believe what was actually happening. yeah. the type of burgundy

isn't going to tell me that i'm a little become swimming granola, even if i bring my, my sister or my my, my mother or whoever i come down with the me in the warped version of what it needs to be, try multiculturalism, had become some idea of a threat to the increasingly sinister mob. there was one young man who became iconic across his chest was written. we grew here, you flew here. it's almost like a sort of nazi thing of blood and soil. that unless you emerge from the soil, you have no right to it. ah, we never knew that all these would be headphones and had so much height in them,

particularly coming from canola, particularly coming from the area that we knew so well and we were there. so often, and it was like being punched by enable me at 3 pm room as suddenly that a train load of lebanese straining use are about to arrive then comes the terrifying reality. there are just 2 men on board who are middle east and yeah.

as we walk through, looked up into the last gallery, jump into the top. dick, you could actually say those 2 young guys getting delta. while i got fully up into the carriage that i could see through people. those 2 young boys just curled off in a ball and just taking the hit, yelling at them really had no effect. the only way to move the table was by striking them with my baton. i wasn't going to have 2 people kicked to death on trying hardest weight for me. i need to get going out today and some medical attention. so that's when i went down try to stop in there and pay

bone. yeah. the head carries full of people, but you got 2 young boys. so the hero aya. you know here you just scum the riot flashes around the world. britain, canada, and indonesia issue travel warnings, urging the citizen to exercise caution. when visiting sydney yeah. the intensity of the bombers and the racism that underpins device is what makes this different. it's is those something deep and dark inside the australian psyche that's been there,

but repressed by a near civilization has now been allowed to erupt. yeah. what happened on a sunday in chronology is a black all i for our country regardless of which side of the policy political fancy sit on, regardless of which cultural background that was not a good day 1st. rather as a nation law law on december 11, a nation insured in the following day. $51.00 right to the charge. yes, a prime minister still sees a strayer in a different way. i do not think that there is underlying racism in this country. c unfortunately, what john, how was said that tara was totally of the mark. he was acting as

a statement, probably trying to shield the nation from that, tarnishing the nation as a whole. but, and he was talking of the mike. yeah. but the horror has only just begun the angry lebanese is dradian, men are about to seek revenge. we went down to the principal park and there was hundreds of people to 100. the young guys very full, full in the car with a young guy who had a very serious weapon on him. and there were guys there who are to kill even the most the most articulate and the most intellectual people in our community was filled with outrage. because how much can someone take before that crack

next time on? once upon a time in punch bowl, the every one on the street, the, the revenge response creates a potentially invalid cycle of tit for tat violence. gangs of men, the middle east and origin by the river. we have a lot on this. we step forward, there will be 2 feet, hundreds of rights. what struggling to hold the progress ah, in the wake of the criminal race, right. how much can someone take before they crack the fight? recognition is crucial. we needed court heads to prevail. brothers in heads of

fable that was said, the religion and the thing that was a community wants to be disrespect to al jazeera, explores the history and struggled of the lebanese community in australia. once upon a time in punchbowl on al jazeera, the hello hot sunshine, really the name of the game across the middle east. take your pick any of these places. re add $43.00 degrees, also $43.00 degrees in doha. next, i want to take you to pakistan, you know, the northern portion of that country has been dealing with some flooding rains all associated with that southwest monsoon and its impacted areas like islam about, for example, further toward the south sand and dust storms were a problem but rain has fall in, so that's helped improve the situation in karachi over to turkey and we're talking about the wildfire burning east stuff on talia city in antalya province. you know
