Brad Whittaker describes himself as a representative of the wider beach community of the Cronulla area. He has just issued this very interesting statement to the ABC

“We would like to apologise for the behaviour of some of our members on Sunday, December 11,” he said.

“The day began as a show of solidarity against behaviour of ethnic gangs that have been harassing the public on our beaches over a period of seven years.

“It escalated out of control under the influence of right-wing racists from outside this community, and [the influence of] alcohol.”

Well well well…
