In December 2005, after an altercation one weekend between three white lifeguards and a group of Middle Eastern youths on a south Sydney beach, text messages began being sent around the community telling people to meet at the beach the next weekend.
該事件起因於 3 名白人救生員和一群中東裔青少年發生衝突並有死傷，之後白人又以手機發出簡訊，召集朋友援助，人愈聚愈多，導致衝突不斷。
