I wonder if this will get even 1/10th. of the media coverage as the Sydney protests. We all know it won't, but interesting to examine the way the media sensationalise certain events, and almost completely overlooks others, even when one is much more severe than the other.
The Police Minister says she is appalled and astonished by the disgraceful behaviour of teenagers at a party in Perth's south-east.
One teenager was stabbed, and police were pelted with various objects as they tried to break-up the gathering of around 500 teenagers in Piara Waters.
Police say the crowd had gathered at the Southhampton Drive property after the party was advertised on social media.
Some party-goers, who were mostly teenagers, hurled objects including rocks, bottles, bricks and fruit at officers and their horses and dogs.
It took 40 police officers about two hours to disperse the crowd.
An 19-year-old Canning Vale man was stabbed in the melee. Police say he went to the party to collect his younger brother.
The window on an ambulance sent to take the teenager to hospital was also smashed by party-goers.
The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police have made seven arrests. All of those charged were teenagers, with the exception of a 26-year-old man.
The Police Minister Liza Harvey says she is appalled by the behaviour of the party-goers.
"I think it's absolutely disgraceful behaviour," she said.
"I mean people continue to surprise me with the way that they conduct themselves, I'm just astonished."
Debris left at the site was cleared by a local shire contractor who used a bobcat to remove the large amount of bricks and broken glass from the scene.
