"Postcode wars" refers to violent territorial disputes and gang rivalries where conflict lines are drawn by neighborhood boundaries or postal codes. These feuds, often centered around train stations and suburban shopping centers, frequently escalate to deadly stabbings and shooting. The phenomenon is notoriously prevalent across Sydney (such as conflicts between groups in Western Sydney) and Melbourne, where teenage gang violence has tragically claimed young lives.
A brutal conflict is playing out on the streets of Sydney, and the battle lines are drawn between postcodes.
