We interview former NSW Police Minister Carl Scully who together with Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin are the authors of an important new book "The Cronulla Riots - The Inside Story".
We discuss:
- What actually went on in December 2005 and how the true significance of these events has been misunderstood
- How the aftermath and revenge attacks were far more serious that what took place on Cronulla Beach and how the police responded
- How both the media and academics misunderstood and mischaracterised these events
- Some very positive elements that came out of the events in 2005 and how this reflects well on the Australian community
- What in his view it takes to make immigration a success
