South Sudanese-Australian man blames Turnbull and Dutton for ‘racial attack’ on family

Brisbane: Queensland Police say they are investigating an incident in which a South Sudanese-Australian family say they were followed home, racially abused, and threatened on Thursday afternoon.

Facebook user Dave F Anei uploaded two videos of a violent encounter outside his Brisbane home. Anei blamed the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, and the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, for creating division and fear through their comments on African youth “gangs” in Victoria. “Congratulations Mr Prime Minister and your Minister Dutton, you’ve achieved to create division among the community,” Anei said. “But don’t worry I taught him a very good lesson that he will never come across my property again, I’m capable of protecting my home.” The video shows a man, standing inside Anei’s front yard, his face up against a screen door.

Anei said the man had followed his wife and children home from childcare. The man hurls threats and racial abuse, threatening to tear the door off its hinges and rip “your fucking head off ”.

In a second clip, Anei opens his front door, and the man takes off his shirt and approaches him quickly and aggressively.

The man makes a vague complaint about “your boys” who were carrying knives, but is unable to identify anyone in particular. The confrontation escalates until the man screams in Anei’s face. The groups referenced are all outlaw motorcycle gangs.

Remaining calm, the homeowner replies: “Go and look for them, you tell them all of this stuff. I’m here, my family is sitting here. I don’t have any problem with you, you don’t have any problem with me. So please just leave.”

The video suggests a scuffle then breaks out.
