What an absolute dumpster fire of an article from the ABC

This event wasn't of "any greater significance" than other events around this time, the review found, but this was the catalyst for what was to come.

Oh right, it was just some insignificant thing lol

One media report stated that there was already tension between the community and Australian Lebanese youths before this event and people, particularly women, claimed to have been harassed, almost daily, by "groups of young Lebanese men" attempting to "pick them up" and describing the women as being "Aussie sluts".[12]

Damn forgot to mention the daily harassment, must have slipped your mind! lol oops!

You also missed the follow up when middle eastern gangs went around trying to find people to bash and rape:

At 19:45, around 100 locals of Punchbowl (a suburb 20 kilometres [12 mi] to Cronulla's northwest) gathered together at the local Punchbowl Park.[17][4] Additional groups, armed with baseball bats, also gathered at The Promenade and Arncliffe Park.[4] Between 20:30 and 21:00, the groups formed a convoy of "more than 40 cars" and drove down to the beaches "to get revenge" with many of the cars ending up in Maroubra.[17] At 22:45, police were ordered "not to approach convoys of men of Middle Eastern appearance"; however car details and registration details were to be recorded.[22]

A local of Maroubra reported that each of the cars that arrived was "full, you know, had four passengers". The convoy was reportedly armed with bars and bats, knives, machetes and guns.[17][23][24] The group assaulted several people, knocking one unconscious and threatening another with rape, and damaged between 60 and 100 cars, setting at least one on fire in Arden Street, Coogee

At approximately 22:25, a 26-year-old mechanic referred to as "Dan" was stabbed in the back three times and twice in the thigh with a 9.8 cm (3.9 in) blade.[24][28][29] The incident occurred outside Woolooware golf club when two cars carrying a group of males "described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance" approached the man and his friends. Dan and his friends attempted to flee from the group, who were shouting "Get the Aussie dogs... get the Aussie sluts". Dan was knocked to the ground and was repeatedly kicked in the head. The attack ended when the knife snapped off in the victim's back.[28][29] He was taken to hospital in a serious condition as the blade had narrowly missed his spine and lungs.[24][25][29]
