and other forms of racist attacks. i fell into the trap of the victimization mentality. way of poor me, poor muslims, poor beneath. you know, i'm sitting here thinking, you know, this person needs to do something, and this person needs to do something. i thought, why don't i do something? mikayla is 19 years old and about to make history. she's the 1st muslim woman to ever train as a lifesaver. and he's one of the 1st to where the a straining designed the caney day. putting on the red caney was amazing. it gave me the freedom. within the water it was an amazing feeling to to be back into the ocean. swimming comfortably freely the maker did the training

logs. the other 17 and we had many injuries. someone broke the om. some of my injuries included our fractured noise wave had common, had lifted the board. and so it had smacked me right in the face. i had serv, attendance in my fingers, i sprained both ankles at the same time, even though i had sustained all of those injuries. i just kept going because i wanted to be able to achieve my bronze medallion. so it's a great personal achievement for me. one of my proudest moment in my community life. when zoe's kids graduated as a weird i truly as you call knowledge i. when they looking at mecca

and that red and yellow bird kitty patrolling the beach as a volunteer. i was proud of what she has done. australia should be proud of what she has done. because what she did was 1st and award in the end, the initiative does not end bigotry on the beach. racial harmony is more and uneasy truth. but make a law and her fellow life savers make their point. i wanted to be able to put out there that muslims and muslim women in particular as well, just as easy as anyone else. and i hope that having achieved that, that that message somehow resonated with everyone. oh, this 3 years later, make a lot of joins jamal had southwest in the labor in paige 8th, and clare and the future minister, the immigration scott morrison on

a journey to the very heart of what it is to be a strain in today. the coded jason was to bring kids muslim kids and scott was to bring lifesavers from shore area code of the might ship trick because it could show that people from different sides can be made. so everything about my chip. everything that what kind of was about stood for the sense of sacrifice bits into belonging. we wanted to take them, we could coda and go through that experience once you in conditions like that, you know, walking through the mud in a rain forest. you know, it's quite easy to, to look beyond the physical appearance for a lot of people didn't say, mean, you know, as they go that way,

the scarf and i didn't see that person as just a lifestyle. you couldn't say that one person was more extra alien than the other. when we stood at anzac day at the issue of memorial. and let me tell you one thing. all over differences, melted into one. we were old, one. we were old. ah, and there is one other breach being built, the police have been working at improving their relationship with the community that the colonel or riots is the catalyst for even more action. we ramp multicultural liaison officer program. these are not police officers, unsworn staff, as we call who are embedded in a large number of police stations. around this, the sidney area. we established

a consultative committee for the commissioner, which is populated by a really the, this range of representatives of ethnic communities. we also have now a high drawn coordinator position and it's simply somebody who dedicated c working life to monitoring issues of high crime. and i think we're, we're lucky because there was a lot of good people that meant well at that time in the police force and in the community in 2006, there is one police initiative with which some in the lebanese australian community, and not impressed whatever it takes to get back control the streets, who are the biggest nice us right. force gains wandered later they don't experience and evidence gathered during a crackdown on a murderous term for in south west sydney. the new south wales police expand the

charter of task force gain and form the middle east and organized crime squad yourself. oil has made a decision which many other states have refused to actually label the people as the criminal problem. ah, so it said we're going to have a middle east and organized crimes quote, something which specifically targets, middle east and people that did not help. i middle east and crime squad. i can understand it if it was in the middle east. i just can't understand. detrimental logy and said that we never be unhappy with such a mon ology. we're still not happy suck in more noisy because it actually works against old bridge building between us society and the police. i think the middle east organized crime squad is called that name, because that is actually what investigates and certainly some within the community

that feel that's a good thing. then others also feel that it's a bad thing and that it tarnishes everyone from the least in background. i don't see it that way. i am of middle east and background myself, and i feel tarnished in any way. in july, 2006, the nation's respectful and loyalty to lebanese straightens, is made clear when israel launch has air attacks on parts of lebanon in its war against his below. the howard government evacuate over 5000 straining, didn't to his credit, john howard. and the difficult circumstances evacuated these citizens in a way that was very difficult, very costly. ah, but humanely. and since deeply done,

i have no doubt. there was the victor way she was conducted. my dost feel that we are no longer australian of 2nd class citizens. we are rarely as anyone else, and there is another event which is destined to change the fortunes of many in south wasted need. lebanese a trailing community it is now 5 month since you had deep walk through the door, the punch bowl boys high. oh, never forget the dice. out of the punch bowl boys high school was i taking on something that was just too big. why was i doing it? why would i get myself that headache? all of those questions that were running through my head while my jumping out of a for payment into the fire. when i walked in 2006, i felt that the boys, it's up for a long period of time. as a school was struggling numbers, numbers were dwindling. there was, there were threats of closure. they were,

they were the things that just weren't going well as a school and, and every diet seems to just learn from problem to problem to problem in the late 19 ninety's, the school was just 10 minutes away from one of sidney's most notorious drug dealing areas. hello p histories. once again, dozens of fully swept on the notorious on poetry to murder drive by shootings. residents have had enough. one of the biggest difficulties you have in running a school is you can't control what's going on outside of the school. the school becomes a melting pot of it's local community and you've got something like to be a street which keeps coming up in the news when the school has got the title, that's the same name as this other that keeps getting that negative media attention . it does have a massive effect on the school. you got up. why did represent i generation of young professionals who decide they want to give back to the

community and build it that emergence not just did but a whole generation of young people who tertiary educators with a critic vision, which is both lebanese muslim and astride. it means that there is a new agenda that is possible, i think, and i just was there was a sense of helplessness amongst the students. we had great teachers and had been trying really hard. but there was, but there was, there was like a feeling that they've been a give up mentality. quite a few principals had come and gone, staff didn't stay long, which is always indicative of a school. it's in a bit of turmoil. it wasn't a place where anybody aspire to go to. you didn't want to teach a punch for boys me. it's just the way they belong. then i'm talking about not only

in the school, but no water powder sighted. they didn't feel like they belonged anyway. what they needed was actually needed someone to love him that i needed someone to believe in him. and someone who could say, hey, you can do this by 2008. she had has been appointed principal. and over the next 2 years, student number is increased by around 70 percent. over the same period, the school records, the nation's highest improvement, right in test results for literacy and numeracy. jad deep is changing, young lebanese australian boys lives like 13 year old nigi who has just started in new 7. when i 1st got to the school, didn't look anything at all. and i just didn't want to be there. i spent most of my time in the toilet striking. i'm working during school. i was out of school, my friends used to get up to a lot of things. i sang out of a little bad people. lease. thank little dr. and it doesn't take him long before

he's in trouble with the principal always used to give us all we do in schools always gets them the and i said this one to modify what i thought the guy in front of all the teachers, students, parents, parents were getting scared, and i fight of the kid safety straight away scrimmage you guys didn't hesitate? no g suspensions mount? when he turned 15, he's taken aside by jer had, did mr. be told me and my school martin, because i feel this girl for to a trade. you know, say philips have goes us by he is is going to be rest employed now he is now 2 years into a plumbing apprenticeship and the influence of his old headmaster is still strong. i think that mr. the really helping him set my last together because now the start

of my own instruction from a company and i take on for the sexual sites. i have a lot of students from l areas and i take more give them the petition in a good looking. so that on the, on the streets and it's something back for us for what they were really me. you can't describe how good it feels to be able to make someone's life better and to be able to make them or help them make the right choices in life. once upon a time university, it wasn't an option. it's, it's there. where once upon a time you will look down upon because you wanted to be a tradesman. let's get you to try them. we save kids and we get kids on the right track and we get kids to become successful. and now what is to make a difference no matter what? at any cost,

ah, today, punchbowl boys high continues to record $10.00 of the nation highest growth rates in literacy and numeracy over so many lebanese is trailing families. the school is more of a sort of tried. it's clear and effective praise that their children and less likely to be lost to the straits. it isn't long before the community finds itself, once again in the negative media. ah, the court haired that the men had stockpiled weapons, chemicals and bomb making instructions in 2007, after a 3 year investigation. the value of a close relationship between the middle east and community and the police is demonstrated went astray,

is biggest ever counter terrorism investigation operation pen. dennis comes to court in melbourne and sydney. i sent with you to attend of imprisonment of 20 ideas of friendship. and then it's started wednesday counter terrorism unit and the victorian police received information from was in the community about a small group of australia muslim working to plan a terrorist act. it was members of those communities who felt that some people have drawn off the raf and that it wasn't right. and that they needed to do something about it and less we'd engaged with the community and have the support. they will probably never succeed. this after was when they confidence to build that credibility with them to build that rapport with them in a time of non crisis. he cannot get to these communities after something very bad.

it's happened and say, look, i haven't bothered to get to you, but trust me, i was, i was in 2012. the community faces its biggest challenge since the colonel arrives a controversial film about the prophet muhammad bark the furious wave of anti american protests across the the me. a few days later it arrives on sydney's doorstep. went to people demonstrate outside the u. s. consulate through afternoon cbd meetings. you cannot simply read the message of faith and say that, you know, this is a freedom of which is quite significant. very,

very small proportion of the community paid any attention to the purchase. and i think one of the reasons that the case could be learned from cornell law, that we can always be so emotional and irrational when, when dealing with things like that, they marched down to hyde park and most families had left. and then that's when it's sort of got out of control. they created an opportunity for the demonstration, which was peaceful, to get hijacked. sidney has been shut down almost to hundreds of angry muslim protesters receiving the yes, we do love the process, but that's not the way you defend to profit image and reputation. they do more damage to the profit and islam than the actual video itself. oh, oh,

i. 7 was going interestingly what happened next is that the community itself saw the footage. so the news heard the coverage and decided this was the memo. 1 latest of all of the different organizations quickly got together and said, we don't accept this, this is not what we can dine and we with this christ, others. so that in itself shows how far we've also come. seems cornell, lebanese australian muslim leaders break ranks with their counterparts around the world, openly criticizing their own community over the past several days. high profile with the leaders has been out against the actions of the few flemming organizations will not allow for such activity to take place,

because at the end of the day, the only community will be tarnished by that exercise is the starting with the community. it's not easy for community leaders to criticize someone's around and it hasn't happened too often that certainly on this occasion, they were unequivocal of the condemnation of what happened of the support of the police. so we will have to work together to ensure that we live in this great country. i think it was a really fun moment for the muslim community, and i was very proud of the way our community handled itself. i was very proud of the speed we mobilized over the community effort to diffuse a situation and to send messages and a different forces. but same message. and the message was, violence will not be tolerated. not now, not ever. the

dilemma needs a straining community has spent the last 30 years under age. no other migrant community has had to endure the same. but after 3 decades of pain and struggle, the community have emerged stronger than i am really proud to be part of this community. for is saudi zillion, that has survived the gold full saddam hussein, the gang rapes, john howard, pauline hanson. and we have proved as australian as anyone else. i think we have developed a platform where we've really dealt with pretty much everything that has been thrown out of cultural issues, identity issues, settlement issues. we've dealt with racial issues with issues in faith,

extremism. we've, i don't know what else there is to come, but i'm sure that will be something. but i just think we've developed a platform and a resilience that is so strong. and like any group of astronomy and living in a big city, the people of southwest sydney faced challenges gang activity and gun crime still exist. but it talks, the minority is no match for a decent majority. fighting for a positive future. ah, there's a great sense of hope and out of everything comes great and the community live in a community the whatever can be in and what a. first of all my story strength. when i have a seat, i put as much a draw and i came into my all the x and i had to do it. i know my parents get back and they know them at the right decision with us. and we

never came here for anything other than to have updates a lot. ah, will continue contributing moscow principal, i'm sure. in the community relations commission, one of my brothers is award boxing champion to my brothers run their own businesses . my sister is a beauty therapist. we are all giving and we're all part of the society. i think my parents to they just sit at sometimes it's a little bit reminds me of the castle at the very end, where mr. kerrigan to the back. you know what he's patio and he just sits back to happy. and that's my parents back and i got here with somebody good me ah, ah,
