Description
"Exploring the untold stories of the Cronulla Riots, this book delves into the perspectives of NSW Police Minister Carl Scully and Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin, the key figures tasked with restoring order during the chaos. While the riots are often cited in discussions of Australian racism, the authors challenge the notion that they were solely driven by Caucasian xenophobia. Through in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes insights, the book provides a more nuanced account of the events, examining the complex dynamics that led to the unrest and the law enforcement efforts that ultimately quelled it."

Much was achieved during Carl Scully's nearly 12 years as a NSW minister: five motorways (M7, Eastern Distributor, Lane Cove Tunnel, M5 East, Cross City Tunnel), the extensive Western Sydney bus only Transitway network, the Epping to Chatswood Rail Link, as well as the planning and delivering of transport for the Sydney 2000 Olympics - all lasting legacies for the people he served. In March 2007, he left politics behind and worked as a consultant and in an international business development role with global engineering firm WorleyParsons, until his retirement from full time employment in November 2015. Carl Scully currently chairs the NSW Mine Safety Advisory Council, runs his own project advisory business and continues to pursue his interest in history as a part time student at the University of Sydney.
