It is clear that a significant number of sons of African refugees are adopting a “race”-based gangsta identity, pushing them into inevitable violent crime, including gang rape. Family and friends of a 14 year-old girl allegedly gang-raped in a western Sydney park say they know who the perpetrators are and have pointed the finger at an African gang operating in the Blacktown area. Police continue to hose down reports of retaliatory violence but an African youth was attacked by a group in Blacktown two weeks ago and was hospitalised with severe groin injuries. Community leaders say the attack was related to the Doonside assault last month. Police released CCTV images of three men wanted over the alleged rape of the teenage girl. Sought: Images of the three men police are hoping can assist with their inquiries. The victim has told police she was walking through Bill Colbourne Reserve about 11pm…

On Monday July 29, 2013 two Middle Eastern males with links to bikie gangs and terrorists were killed just kilometres – and minutes – apart, becoming the latest victims of Sydney’s out-of-control gun violence. The targeted attacks were reportedly linked to an ongoing lethal bikie turf war between the Comanchero and Hells Angels gangs. Vasko Boskovski and Bassil Hijazi died in a hail of bullets in Sydney’s southwest, the 20th and 21st person to be killed by assassins’ bullets since Barry O’Farrell came to power in March 2011. Vasco Boskovski Bassil Hijazi Debt collector and businessman Boskovski, 35, a father of two, was gunned down outside his home in Earlwood about 9.30pm on Monday. It has since emerged Boskovski was a co-director in a company with convicted Punchbowl terrorist Khaled Sharrouf, who was jailed in 2005 for plotting to blow up the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor. About 15 minutes later,…
A Sudanese woman who stole a mobile phone from a man who had been bashed unconscious by a male associate was ordered to undertake a Community Corrections Order to perform 100 hours of unpaid community work. The County Court sitting at Mildura on 16 September 2013 was told that 18-year-old Agar Yak had been consuming wine with two co-accused Sudanese men for about five hours before the assault and theft took place. Crown prosecutor David O’Doherty said Yak and the two men left the house in Chapman Street, Swan Hill, Victoria in the early hours of 21 January 2013 after a 21-year-old co-accused had made repeated references about wanting to knock out a white boy, drag him inside the house, cut his throat and kill him. Mr O’Doherty said the group were walking along Chapman Street when the 22-year-old victim was seen walking towards them. The prosecutor said the 21-year-old…
The Syria war has already spilled into our streets, with bashings, shootings and arson as Sunnis and Shi’ites scuffle in Sydney and Melbourne. Then there are the 15 Muslims jailed here over four big terrorist plots. Radical preachers such as Sheik Taj El-Din al-Hilaly, imam at Lakemba mosque, Australia’s biggest, have meanwhile whipped up the hate by praising suicide bombers as “heroes”. They have an audience: scores of angry Muslim men rioted in Sydney last year over an American video mocking their faith. Not all the trouble has a specifically religious connection. Imprisonment rates among the Lebanese-born are among the highest of ethnic groups and two bikie gangs — the Comancheros and Notorious — have many Lebanese members. Sydney’s Hells Angels include many ethnic Turks. Shootings in Sydney suburbs with big Muslim populations are so common that police created a Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad. Three Muslims, two of Lebanese…
Former NSW detective Tim Priest was one of the front-line cops who lead the war against crime in the drug-ridden streets of Cabramatta. Yet he found himself waging his biggest battle not against the drug gangs but against the very organisation he worked for. Eventually, he could stand it no longer and spoke out about the politics and bureaucratic bungling, chronic lack of resources and crazy policy decisions that seem endemic to the New South Wales Police Service. For this, he was labelled a ‘whistleblower’ and ultimately railroaded out of the force. Parliamentary enquiries subsequently proved that Tim Priest had spoken the truth and, perhaps more shockingly, that what the newspapers reveal is merely the tip of the iceberg. The articel below was first published in the January 2004 issue of Quadrant magazine. It is re-published here with the permission of Tim Priest. Tim Priest teamed up with academic Richard Basham to…
