"Race riots broke out for a second night in Sydney tonight despite appeals from the prime minister, John Howard, for ethnic and religious tolerance.
Police said gangs of youths from outside the southern beach suburb of Cronulla had driven through the town smashing shop windows and damaging houses and flats in apparent revenge attacks for yesterday's violence.

'We have shops damaged at Caringbah, cars damaged at Cronulla,' said Paul Bugden, a spokesman for New South Wales police. 'We have six arrests at this stage.'"

Your not wrong there mate.  Bloody stupid plonkers. They think they're helping their country, their doing the absolute opposite.
Australia is a very racial place though, towards the indigenous Aborigine people they are very bad.

Rubber bullets is what they Police should be using.

Mr Howard denied that Australia had a problem with racism. "I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country," he said. "This nation of ours has been able to absorb millions of people from different parts of the world over a period of some 40 years, and we have done so with remarkable success."

what a bunch of bularkey.  there is underlying racism everywhere, even on this board
