    This is rough, what has been happening in towns across Europe, was also happening in Aus. Harrowing read. Worth reading the full article. Usual story, political correctness, government cover, police inaction up etc etc.

    Louise was exhausted after a double shift when she made a fateful decision. She parked in a lane not far from St Mary's Cathedral and went to sleep.
    She was a nurse. Unusually, she also had a degree in psychology. She had been working as an agency nurse, doing casual shifts.
    "I was doing shifts at St Vincent's Hospital and I'd just done a 10-hour shift," she told me. "As I was driving away, I got a call to do a four-hour shift at Sydney Hospital. It was a Saturday night, good money, so I said yes."
    "I worked through until 1.30am. By then I was so tired a security guard walked me to my car."
    She had parked near the back of St Mary's Cathedral but found that after driving a short distance she was too tired to go on. She pulled into a secluded lane, got into the passenger seat, and fell straight to sleep. She was wearing her nursing uniform.
    She woke when she felt someone grab her leg. Then she was punched hard in the face.
    "I was pulled out of the car and thrown to the ground. There were six of them and they all started kicking me. They were speaking Arabic ...
    "Three of them raped me on the footpath. They spread-eagled me. A fourth guy sodomised me. He put me in a doggy position and put a knife to my throat.
    "He started to cut me. He was cutting through the scalene [neck] muscle. I knew I was going to die ... I was in incredible pain. I could hardly breathe. I was swallowing blood.
    "Then I heard shouting in Arabic. One of the guys who had not raped me knocked the knife from the guy's hand. He said in English, "This is f---ed.
    "The guy who had the knife, this mongrel, big, bearded, he wrenched my jaw open, pulled my head back, and stuck his hands down my throat. I had no top teeth left, they had been kicked out.
    "They started urinating in my mouth. They were all laughing. One of my eyes was closed with blood. Then they just took turns kicking me. They spat on me and left.
    "A couple of homeless guys found me ... At the hospital they were asking my name and I couldn't speak. They called me Jane Doe.
    "I couldn't speak for two months. My jaw was broken. My top lip was torn. I had 79 fractures all up. A broken ankle, a broken T10 [back vertebrae], broken face, nose, eye orbit, mandible, hands, both knees fractured. That was the end of my nursing career."
    It was August 2002. Sydney would be rocked by a series of gang-rape trials between 2001 and 2006 but the full notoriety of the problem had not yet peaked.
