The "2005 Sydney race riots" began with an incident of mob confrontation which took place at Cronulla Beach, a southern coastal suburb of Sydney, Australia's largest city. On Sunday December 11 2005, approximately 5000 people had gathered in an ad-hoc protest to "reclaim the beach" from recently-reported incidents of assaults, harassment, and intimidatory behaviour by individuals from certain groups of non-locals, most of whom were identified in the earlier media reports as Lebanese Muslim youths from the western suburbs of Sydney. The crowd had assembled following a widely-reported series of earlier confrontations, and an assault on three volunteer lifesavers which had taken place the previous weekend. In the week leading up to the major incident of the 11th, these confrontations and the subsequent circulation of anonymous calls (spread via SMS text messaging and other means) to gather at the beach were the subject of much publicity and media commentary. ...more on Wikipedia about "2005 Sydney race riots"

The Sydney gang rapes were a series of five separate crimes involving rape which occurred in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The first four occurred in the southern hemisphere winter of 2000, and the fifth in 2002. The common thread in these cases was that the perpetrators were gangs of young males of Middle Eastern background ( Lebanese in the first four cases, Pakistanis in the fifth), while the victims were females of European descent. The perpetrators were alleged to have made racist comments against their victims in the course of the offences, leading some to categorise them as hate crimes.
