Today i had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Pete Abordi.
Pete grew up in Maroubra, NSW. Growing up surfing and running about he joined the Bra Boys. A well-known group of guys who had a passion for surfing and looking after one another, mostly coming from low socio-economic situations.
Pete found success in the hardcore metal scene, with his band 'NO APOLOGIES'
Whilst playing in Byron Bay one day, he met a young band who went by the name 'Parkway Drive' and befriended them, eventually touring with them and watching their historic rise to become possibly the biggest metalcore band the world's ever seen.
We also go in depth on the Cronulla Riots that took place in NSW in 2005 and what role the Bra Boys had in the major altercation.

You Sthn subs Sav? I grew up in Shitford, still fkn here mate!!
Dunno how this algo'd into my utube....gd interview but.. luvd you hanging shit on Northern suburbs c*nts (Morphett Vale)!!
Just subbed so l gotta fair whack of bingin to do!
Let's be honest here. Lebanese youths have been tearing Sydney up for years and years and not just at Cronulla. I remember them robbing and bashing people in the carpark of castle towers shopping centre after late night shopping, people had to be dropped at their cars by security in golf carts for shit sake. The whole population of Sydney had this built up frustration and tension and that is what came out in the Cronulla riots. This was not just about a few muppets coming out on the train to act out at the beach...
Not all Lebanese though bro. Look there’s some fuckewits out there no doubt but of all races. I had the mentality years ago when all this shit was happening that all Lebanese people were like this. Let’s just say I’ve completely changed my way of thinking. I know and have some really good Lebanese mates. The best guys you’ll ever meet.
@@burtongrimes2227 Yeah mate I agree with that, but the amount of bad one is disproportionately high. The decent Lebanese I've met seemed to all be Christian or sometimes atheist, let's just leave it at that...
I can completely back up this comment. My brother was bashed into an inch of his life outside Castle Towers by lebs
Yeah, it's all races though in Sydney. It's just weird because this is Australia, don't know why people want to act gangster trying to mob lmao, go over to places like Mexico carrying on how people do here and see how things end up for them lmao.
No matter how much you try to sanitise it just listening to your conversation makes me cringe . The facts are young Lebs are always of this superiority mentality . If you want to be an Aussie leave all this baggage where it belongs in Lebanon. !
As an Aboriginal love this interview. Lets never let this happen again. We got the best country in the world brothers regradless of where your heritage comes from.
Thanks mate, appreciate the love
No that is incorrect
Immigration is killing our country
Australia for the white man ❤
Onya brother!!
It was a great country but we're quickly getting sold out by politicians & private corporations.
Still the best joint on the planet but!👍
@@baabaabaa-yp2jh Absolutely brother I couldn't agree more. Our country is being sold off its sad. We need politicians that look after our country for all Australians. I can't believe the issues we are seeing in our cities when it comes to homelessness etc. Very sad for all of us.. but yep still the best country in the world
@@Seagulligus Absolutely mate, they're selling the joint off to the highest bidder & bugga all of us....
The money govts waste is obscene, but its only taxpayers money...not theirs.. fukn sad bro, once the place is wrecked, it's wrecked forever.
I still wdnt live anywhere else tho.👍
Edit: A country as rich as Australia shd be able to look after those that need help.. housing, buying or renting is a scam.
We're not America, but we're heading that way
As an aboriginal from the Northern Territory respect the hell out of this man for his words here about the whole situation
Big ups from Adelaide legend, thanks for watching ✊🏽
I voted NO . They dont own anything
Its dirt and rock
You cannot own it 🤣

I lived in Liverpool for 25years and I found majority of the Lebanese I met thru my work were racist especially towards Asians & Australians, These mouthy grubs were great in numbers. The Gangs r@pes were targeted on "Aussie girls" the victims were told it was happening them because theyre Aussies. Cronulla was the tipping point for alot of frustrations from many, not just "Aussies" .I met alot of Lebanese that were decent hard working Ppl that loved Aussie.
Truth 💯% 👍
I get what you're saying but the "aussies" were no different to the European migrants who came to Australia.My Dad told me about how they were rejected from pubs and clubs bec of the wog stigma and the racial behaviour from Australians.No mention of that here.
@@bobbyjovi not talking about when the 1st wave of immigration and the racism that followed. We are talking about a different subject. And the "Aussies" in the 2000s were so different to "aussies" in the 40s/50//60s. There was still pockets of racism, but not as hard-core as back then. Make no mistake I had alot of Italian/Greek/serb & even "aussie leb" mates and they had similar experiences with the smarta$$ lebs. from what I was told the attitude came from the parents.
But trying to say there is no difference between attitudes of ppl from the 1940s and the 2000s in simply incorrect
@@bobbyjoviI remember my uncles telling me how they used to get shit put on them all the time because they were poms that just came over from England and then the Lebanese started coming to the school and then they stopped picking on them as much and then it was the Lebanese turn this is in iner Sydney area rough kids both sides the stories are crazy fuck we got it easy now👍
If you're a w0g leb you're a w0g leb don't matter
This dude real asf! Props frm NewZealand
Tough guy, you would not ever want to mess with him, yet he is full of respect and decency. Thumbs up!
They were praying on families and the surf life saving clubbies for years before the riots.
Perfect example of how to say a lot without saying too much. Never gave no one up and never talked out of school.
Well said, the whole podcast was like that. Pete’s really well spoken in that regard
Just about to walk to maroubra 😂😂 and this video pops up. iPhone is listening to my conversations today 😂😂😂
Good shit....we from Nz LOVE IT
Appreciate it brother
Great info
Hey this is sick. Is there a link for the full pod can't find? Cheers lads
If you click on my page legend it’s episode number 46, Pete abordi.
ua-cam.com/video/Ih26yStPxUk/v-deo.htmlsi=lrDXj5scr1Wn77_z see if that works
If you like this one I highly recommend the one I filmed with a bloke called Wayne Cleveland.
I was living in Cronulla prior to this happening. For ages they used to come down 50 strong, 10 x WRX’s with 5 dudes, prowling around in groups of 2 cars. They would corner a couple of locals and then text their location, what hope did a couple of dudes have against that many???
Nobody tells this side of the story. I'm happy that the part about these guys coming into town belting kids and hassling girls finally got out. I was in my early twenties by the time the riots happened, but had been bashed many times by car loads of Middle Eastern gangs coming out. We were normally in groups of 2-3 and as soon as you saw a WRX drive past you'd run.
The Bra Boys used to do the same whenever they'd surf down in Cronulla. A lot of them were bullies with a few decent ones in there, but they had a culture of being tough guys. We didn't have that in Cronulla, not many of us felt the need to prove ourselves by getting into fights.
Well they've now taken over Brighton Le Sands which is basically all families.Who's going to take anybody on there?
Facts .. I was dating a girl from Cronulla at the time her friend was assaulted in the toilets at the beach by a group of Lebanese then it happened again up the beach locals were over it
Yeah, back then, it was the gang bashings and gang rapes that really triggered it. I remember a remorseless group talking about how the victim deserved what she got because she wore a skirt.
People in Australia that didn't want to respect the Australian way of life and took advantage of the layer back attitude and the weak in society.
Sad it turned the way it did though where good people became victims because of the actions of a few.
Because they hate whites.
Great interview, very informative.
Thankyou legend !
He says we had a connection to one of the biker gangs but i won't say who we have seen the documentary dickhead so we know your referring to the comocheroes
Hey mate, how do I get into contact with you directly? Got a few interesting stories to share
Instagram
Same as the name of the podcast legend. Even on the Facebook page
Moral of the story: Don't let cnts get away with sht. Also, it's not really "Bogan" mentality. It's "dumb cnt" mentality. Bogans aren't necessarily racist. I know some bogans that aren't racist and friendly as fk. Heck my wife calls me a bloody bogan and I'm not white
I was 19 when the riots happened and lived most my life on the Northern Beaches.... I have since moved into the Canterbury Bankstown catchment area and can confirm Lebs can be really sharp and pompous. In all honesty I do not feel unsafe here as I mind my own business and I am big enough to handle my self and I am a strong believer in a persons right to defend themselves with extreme violence hard and fast. But there was all this shit from the Skaf gang rapes to constant bad press around Lebs and middle easterners on the constant. Be it poor business dealings from uncles who are builders or shonky work and sales blah blah... I have made a few friends in the older school Lebanese and there are some great ones. But the rural families who settled here from Lebanon have some serious deep rooted issues. Of course a few generations down the line the system will unkink most of the community.
Internal Affairs sickest band! Miles away on that tour to I think no doubt

For a second I thought it was THAT "Corey" and he sent a viral text
I’m from Cronulla and I was there on the day. What he said is 100% correct. It has been going on since the 1960’s and no one did fuck all about the harassment of male and females. Should of been handled a lot differently l.
I think you will.find it was about late 70's early 80's that the Lebanese came to Sydney...It went downhill from.there...
Share share share.
Your gonna go viral Sav
Somethings bound to eventually 🙏🏻
He got it right about the Bra Boys doco.....That was aimed at 15-22 year olds.....
There were plenty of bra boys tats and aussie blokes from western Sydney at the riots
This bloke obviously doesn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
sounds like blake oakfield from the mucca mad boys
I got a text ...come and pash some Lesos....that didn't end well..
Did you dip yourself in honey
Mucca mad boys
😂 remix scene from training day and Chris likely
"Damn you guys pucked him up"
Smiley don't swear
I said Pucked him, with a P
it started becoming more about the fighting than the surfing
its a spoof to how everyone gets into the darker side of things when it starts innocent@@joeroganpodcastdotcom
Hang around there in 80s never had a problem with the boys if you didn’t carry on like a goose and treated people with respect no problems the same at most areas in Sydney
I grew up in Cronulla - wholeheartedly agree with the words "cronulla should have checked them, they got soft."
Cronulla then wasn’t like it was in the 70s & 80s when there were loosely affiliated groups of surfer mates like the Bra Boys
Cronulla is a different animal, mainly because there’s no social housing, it’s on the train line & there’s a large turnover of people now, most people are all middle class, working & can’t be fucked getting involved with things like that
A lot if it was hard to check as they alway had overwhelming numbers… There were plenty of brawls up the mall in the 90’s, but it was hard to stop them coming in roving packs. They were well co-ordinated and would always go for 1 or 2 guys… I remember walking through the bowlo one night and crossing up through the units, not even half an hour later some bloke was doing the same thing, two cars stopped him, 10 guys smashed him. That kind of thing was a common occurence, how could it have been stopped?
Lebs also came down to manly and the coconuts gave them all a hiding on the New Year’s Eve helicopter was in the sky and I seen channel 7 filming near manly library and they were told to keep it off the media
Wild times
@@theseshwithsav384 sad mate when people don’t talk to each other and get along
Who are the coconuts? I’m a Sri Lankan, and we call ourselves that when we are brown on the outside and white on the in. 😂
@@NoobTube4148 😂😂😂
@@NoobTube4148it's a derogatory term for islanders. He should have chose better language
NO APOLOGIES 😤
Real bra boys wear bras
The younger Lebanese people are still comming to Cronulla and causeing issues. Just yesterday I was at north cronulla and a young female lifesaver (15) was getting harrased by a group of lebs. Its hard to see them getting checked these days considering half the people that live in the shire these days are new to the area and probably 80% plus of the people at the beach arn't from the area and arn't even aussie.
That's what you get with islamic cultures.. This is the reason why nationalist parties are getting more and more votes in Europe.
Islam is not compatible with other cultures..
NO APOLOGIES
That's the exact story as I remember it.
You remember wrong
Having egos and pride for 'your area' is not gangster, its just easily influenced kids doing jobs for actual gangsters. If you're not making major money, you're no gangster. Big respect to anyone who admits this and is willing to leave that life
Lo why is the beach aboriginals?
Not letting on he knows who was responsible...
Smart move
Why would you want to go around later on to be asked or pointed out that you talked about a bike gang. He just wants no part of it.
and isn't incriminating himself.
Let the viewer use their own Brain for a bit instead of spoonfed ACA bs
98% of what happened in Cronulla was not people from Cronulla
i remember the riots well,i was a kiwi living in Canberra and had to go to sydney airport,im dark skined and thought oh fuckin here we go
😅😅😅😅
Haha a lot of the people at the riots were Kiwis. It wasn't a race thing for 99% of the people there. There were a few bad seeds that made it onto TV, but I personally knew Lebanese, Maori and Filipino locals that were in the crowd.
Is there still some form or working class culture in Maroubra?
That’s a good question, I unfortunately don’t have the answer but from what I hear and stuff it sounds like the areas a bit yuopy now
@@theseshwithsav384
Maroubra used to be working class, it’s totally gentrified now.
When Aussies still had a pair.
Of course it was depicted that way.
The super kewl brah boys sat down with the hells angels and solved the Lebo issue.
i thought i did something at work 😁😁😁😁 dude just lost his job... LOL
I have lived in the Nulla for 57 years. Cronulla Riots were embarrassing. My early days here the crew down here would would show anyone acting up disrespectful the direction back to Cronulla Train Station. Cronulla Riots was an absolute piss up.
Yeah remember all the fights in the mall in the 90’s? They was full on.
sure were
@@byza101
Maroubra isn't Detroit.
It's not even the golden mile
Thank fk for that too!!
Stop comparing Aussies of any background to Seppos, completely different mindset.
@@baabaabaa-yp2jh and detroit is like 800 miles that a way. Ill walk my a$$ over there now
He wasn't even there.
RESPECT
Most of those who participated in the 2005 Cronulla riot was English immigrants.
Where are the bra boys now?
Jail & dead
Maroubra…
@@samwright1827nah mate maroubras all rich cunts now
Most are doing what they were always doing and chasing phat swells haha
Having a nice happy quiet life,laughing at people who make stupid comments and living life
Bullsh%t, the eastern suburbs got hit not just Maroubra, I live in coogee and we got smashed, cars busted, lebs with swords running around and people flogged.
you tossers in the eastern suburbs let a bunch of weak lebs trash your area!???😳😫😫disgraceful 😔
Yep selective memory, doesnt fit the narrative
I've lived in Cronulla for over 35 years in the dude you talk about but did not talk about was a respected local Surfer who had a lot of problems at the time99% of the people that cause trouble that day we're not from Cronulla you need to do a bit of research you are speaking about things you don't know about
I lived there for 43 years and I’m only 29 years old
I was born there and died there but never lived there
The guy who sent the message out?
Blah
Two gronks gronking it out
Youse couldn’t crunch corn flakes lehd I’d goose ya lehd yak little goose dogs
You sound like a bit of a crackhead mate

You're def from Elizabeth or something aye...

"Lets just say he's not around anymore" ... Feel free to elaborated on that, champ.. You think he was "taken care of" do you? Trying to dramatise this shit even more. Show some respect.
Funny thing is he's living in Cronulla now
I don't disagree with this man about certain behaviors but I also think the broader picture is that Australia is a racist country...whether it's any group from white to lebs..I am an Iranian..I visited Australia several times as a tourist for around 10 days and everytime I went, on numerous occasions I had white Aussies try to get into my face, either just sitting on a train or walking in city...they will try and it doesn't matter if you are middle eastern or Mexican...lol..they think that prosperity for them is everlasting...and any minority is to target..
It goes both ways. Australia is one of the most multicultural places atm
where the fuck does this happen some country town in western NSW. Certainly dosen't happen in Sydney considering half the population these days is Asian.
Lebanese are way stronger than Aussies
🤣🤣🤣 wasn't on the day
In history the lebbos run like dogs 🤣🤣🤣 and they will run next time
All the roids obviously 🤦♂️🤡
@@user-el2xl7qs9w
That's right, don't let your country be taken over by muslims.
We Europeans are tied with our hands to our backs because of the leftist political parties, fck'ng traitors towards democracy and collaborators with islamism..!
At least you Australians stick together.!!
Crazy times. Im Aussie and got called a wog and threatened to be bashed because I drove a WRX in those times in Newcastle. Haha Im a white aussie. 😂
"We had a connection with a bike gang... wont say who" 😂 theres litterally a picture of mick howy putting it on the Aberton brother's 😂 common chair throwers went to maroubra to shut them down because his little cousin got bashed... and bra boys shat the gear.
you were there?? or got all that from a picture?
@@tast7017 why u mad for?.... does the truth offend you?
@@ceazer_aykay_one4713 it's a simple question. Does a simple question offend you? You're speaking like you know. Were you there?
this is 100%. The gutless criminal bra boys showed who they truely were that day. Coke deals before fellow Aussies
Commancheros turned up to Maroubra and all of a sudden it became quiet.We know nobody was going to take them on.Esp Mick Hawi and his crew.
I remember getting sent those text messages - "reclaim the beach" and shit like that. I remember a mate sent it to me and was trying to g me up to go to Cronulla and I just looked at him and said, "what are you fucking on, bro? Think about it, nobody from Cronulla is coming to fucking Blacktown to punch on, why the fuck we going to Cronulla for it?" Blew my mind that there was this stupid tribalism, although I saw a tonne of it out West Sydney, especially at the Mean Fiddler.
Why are you lying to save your mate Abberton? You’re either lying or you’re not up to speed, the reason Maroubra got attacked is because Koby Abberton came out in the media big noting himself saying “this abuse wouldn’t happen in Maroubra, we’d sort them out” or words to that affect, so if any Maroubra locals lost property or had property destroyed that can blame him
I was at cronulla that day, not involved but it’s not how you think it was, there were more people from outside Cronulla, skinheads, islanders etc all going crazy
Yea I remember a guy with dreads & a black singlet - had some words written on it
It never happened 😂 because bra boys started recruiting poly lads from mascot etc coz they shat themselves when they got checked by oscar Taufahema!
