"High-profile charity worker the Reverend Father Chris Riley and NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney are teaming up to build a new multi-million dollar youth centre in the troubled Sydney suburb of Macquarie Fields. The south-western suburb was wracked by violence during four nights of rioting in February last year, sparked by the deaths of two young men in a car crash during a brief police pursuit. The resulting media uproar drew attention to the plight of bored kids raised in poverty. Fr Riley, founder of the Sydney-based Youth Off The Streets network, said it was time the kids of Macquarie Fields were given a helping hand."
