Update.

From CBC News:

Ken Moroney, police commissioner of New South Wales, said the mob broke the windows of an ambulance and attacked two paradmedics. In another incident, people chased a woman on the beach because of her race.

"That woman was literally saved by the police officers and those officers deserve my highest commendation for the way they went about their task," he said. "The other equally offensive conduct, the absolutely total un-Australian conduct, was an attack on an ambulance."

Maybe it's the studying too much that's making me parse language, but this quote begs the question: Is it Australian to have mobs chase women on the beach? Maybe it's Australian if it's just randy men chasing women...
