Police had to move in to calm hundreds of people last night outside a meeting of nearly 900 opposed to a proposal for one of Australia's biggest Islamic schools in south-west Sydney.
Some locals are threatening to take matters into their own hands if the 1,200-student school in Camden is approved by either the council or via appeal to the Land and Environment Court.
A group calling themselves the Public Affairs Education Committee organised last night's meeting and had to shut the doors when the Camden Civic Centre reached full capacity. |
