Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.

"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on."

It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.
