The Lebanese youths/gangs have taken over Parramatta (West Sydney) and a number of other parts of town and intended to take over Cronulla Beach. I think it was a fairly honorable thing to do, to turn up in force and fight them off. And the press have severly missrepresented the situation. To those who haven't been to Cronulla; it's a very nice beach side suburb, populated by a really nice bunch of people including a lot of upper middle class elderly folk. Not at all suited to a bunch of Lebanese thugs.
