Sydney Riots - Australia 2005

Dutch newsitem about the riots in Sydney in December 2005

From Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Cronulla_riots

The 2005 Cronulla riots were a series of sectarian clashes and mob violence originating in Cronulla, New South Wales and spreading, over the next few nights, to additional Sydney suburbs.

On 4 December 2005, a group of volunteer surf lifesavers were assaulted by a group of young men of Middle Eastern appearance, with several other violent assaults occurring over the next week. These incidents were widely reported and commented on in Sydney media. An initially peaceful crowd gathered in the morning of 11 December 2005 and by midday, approximately 5,000 people gathered at Cronulla beach to protest against a recent spate of violence against locals.

However, fuelled by alcohol, the crowd turned to violence when a young man of "Middle Eastern appearance"[1] was spotted on the beach. He was surrounded by a crowd outside a local hotel and attacked. Retaliatory riots also took place that night and on subsequent nights, resulting in extensive property damage and several more assaults, including one stabbing and even some attacks against ambulance and police officers.
The attacks were widely condemned by local, state and federal members of parliament, police, local community leaders and residents of Cronulla and adjacent areas. A large number of arrests were made over the subsequent months, from both the initial riot on 11 December and the retaliatory riots held over the subsequent nights. The incidents badly damaged Australia's international image, with several countries issuing travel warnings, and[clarification needed] a lack of confidence about the capability of police to handle incidents of this magnitude

The white people "didn't need them Lebanese" and the aborigines didn't need the white people.

aboriginal holocause since 1789-1985

Australia had made the ghetto in the middle of desert and sent aborigines

after having enjoyed HUMAN HUNTING. and Australia and UK had tested nuclear weapons till 1985 and killed aborigines.

I think with the outbreak of WW2, the aborigines would have preferred the white people protecting them rather than the Japanese exterminating them. Wouldn't be very many aborigines around if the Javanese found out that Australia existed.
