Police struggle to keep lid on more racial clashes in Logan, while Logan Mayor Pam Parker calls for "zero tolerance" approach | The Courier-Mail
RACIAL violence erupted in Logan again last night, as police struggled to separate a group of Pacific Islanders and Aborigines for the third night.
Premier Campbell Newman joined police in appealing for calm, while Logan mayor Pam Parker demanded an immediate increase in police presence and a "zero tolerance" approach in the multicultural community.
Two families living just 200m apart have blamed each other for violent clashes that have turned suburban streets into a battlefield.
Up to 40 people fought with sticks, planks, metal bars and bricks over consecutive nights at Douglas St, Woodridge.

Flipside of many Pacific Island cultures is extremely thuggish hand to hand violence. And now we have it here.
Thank you, multiculturalism.
