2005 Cronulla riots - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Cronulla_riotsThe 2005 Cronulla riots was a civil conflict starting in the beachside Sydney suburb of Cronulla which spread, over the next few nights, to additional suburbs.
The riots were triggered by an event the previous Sunday, after an altercation which turned physical between a group of youths of Middle-Eastern appearance (referred to as "Lebanese" or "Lebos" by their opponents) and Anglo-Australian lifeguards on the beach.

The riots were triggered by an event the previous Sunday, after an altercation which turned physical between a group of youths of Middle-Eastern appearance (referred to as "Lebanese" or "Lebos" by their opponents) and Anglo-Australian lifeguards on the beach. Following the reporting of this event by the tabloid media and "shock jocks" on local radio, a racially motivated gathering was organised for the following weekend.
A crowd gathered at Cronulla on the morning of Sunday, 11 December, and, by midday, approximately 5,000 people had gathered near the beach. The police eventually intervened. Violence spread to other southern suburbs of Sydney, where assaults occurred, including two stabbings and attacks on ambulances and police officers. Travel warnings for Australia were issued by some countries but were later removed.
The riots 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 retaliations over the subsequent nights. Some media were criticised and well-known radio personality Alan Jones was formally censured and fined for his broadcasts during that week.Wikipedia · Text under CC-BY-SA licenseCronulla Riots - Documentary - SBS
