Sydney was having a slow news week and needed something to jazz up A Current Affair. We had 3 18th - 21st birthday parties in close sucession over here, and some 50 to 100 gate-crashers invited themselves along, to each one, and usually the same gang bang boys rocked up to each. The real party people call the cops, the gate-crashes turn on the Police, looking for a punch-up and a bit of bottle-tossing target practice, 50 points a pig.
Suddenly you have "Riots in Perth" screaming out at you from the TV. Its nothing more than what happens in Redfern every weekend over there......
Cheers,
Mitch.
Perth.
