This is not the Australia I know and love. This is going to come to a head one day, and we will take back out communities.
The Cronulla riot was a tiny glimpse of what happens when we, one of the most laid back and friendly people, are pushed too far. We don’t bark, but it’s a grave mistake to assume that it means we don’t bite.
We may not be anywhere as heavily armed as the US, but we are very creative in the face of adversity and unfair odds, just look at our military history (e.g. Kokoda, Anzac cove).
This is not over yet.
I know.
And there’ll be clashes that make Cronulla look puny by comparison.
