I’m guessing Muslim. Otherwise they’d have mentioned it.

That's certainly possible but from what I read (didn't click the link) it sounds more like "drunk and disorderly".Naturalman is in a better position than us to know how willing the Australian press and government officials are to divulge the national origin,etc of criminal suspects.

The Australian media will generally identify ethnicity if its relevant (and in a case like this, the fact somebody was possibly Moslem would be relevant) but carefully and only after they are sure - they won’t report rumours.
