A real Iemma dilemma - Iemma in the middle

Piers Akerman
"On this day four years ago, the Carr-Iemma Labor Government attempted to address the obvious problems of Islamic anti-social behaviour in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the US. Yet, as he had personally launched the campaign to bring anti-social young Arabic-speaking individuals into some sort of order, he, above all other state politicians, should have been most aware of the threat posed to the wider community by the anti-social behaviour of young Arabic-speaking people.
Then again, in his electorate of Lakemba, there was an unemployment rate among Muslims of some 24.3 per cent, just a shade under a quarter of the Muslim population.
In his failure to adequately address this issue he may well have contributed to the greater security problem now facing all people in the state.
If your favourite beach was locked down last weekend, and may be again this weekend, let Mr Iemma know that he must shoulder a great portion of the blame. After all, he has had four years to deal with the problem."
