"Macquarie University demographer Jim Forrest has pointed out an aberration in Australia's immigration patterns that goes some way to explain some deeply entrenched anti-social behaviour among youths of Lebanese descent.
He notes that what have been the great levellers in the migrant experience - getting a command of English and a good education - are rare in a large body of the Middle Eastern migrants that have settled around Lakemba.
Unemployment in these enclaves is twice the national average, crime rates are high, and social commentators have made much of a generation that seems beyond the control of its parents."
