Cronulla local Peter Frankham embraces a Bankstown teen he helped pull from the clutches of the bloodthirsty mob at Sunday's beachside riots.

Why are so many Churches being attacked if these are Christian Lebanese?
You say this is nothing to do with religion just as people were saying the the riots in France had nothing to do with religion but both of the riots took place near muslim areas and both riots involved Churches being burned and both had some people chanting in Arabic.
Here's the news report on the Church attacks:
2005-12-14-Sydney-churches-attacked
Note that this was the sixth attack on one of the Churches in just the last 4 years so it wasn't all about retaliation over the incident at Cronulla on Sunday.

The churches mainly involved are in Auburn which is one suburb with an ethnic majority. There is not enough for the teens to do. Its a problem of bored youth. Its not just churches either but they are the only ones being reported on here.
IT HAS become a celebrated story, told by the whistleblowing former policeman Tim Priest. The trouble is, it isn't true.
Women did not hide heroin in nappies. The couple had no children and were on an IVF program. But Priest continued: "As was the case in those days, we arrested every adult and teenager who had hampered our search. When it came to court, they were represented by Legal Aid, of course, who claimed that these people were innocent of the minor charges of public disorder and hindering police because they were recent arrivals from a country where people have an historical hatred towards police and that they also had poor communication skills and that the police had not executed the warrant in a manner that was acceptable to the Muslim occupants.
It has provoked widespread discussion both here and overseas."

Reading about European and Australian troubles with other species and sub-species ("race" is a claptrap term in this sense) saddens and amuses me at the same time. We Americans have been shunned for centuries as bigots and worse; now, it seems, the Euro-world has that pebble in its shoe and it's grown into a boulder.
The heritage disappears because our women are no longer interested in having children; apparently that attitude, rooted in feminism, prevails in your land, as well.
