The attacks on indians are extremely higher than the attacs to any other group.
In Victoria alone, and in just one year, 1447 people of Indian origin were punched, kicked, raped or robbed.
Indian students was the targets of the attackers 30 times more comparing with their number in west suburbs of Melbourne.
From the other side the authorities did not do many things to protect indian students. The problem is not only they was victims from many, many attacks but they was unprotected for long, long time.
I read in this thread that " these attacks aren't being committed by European Australians"
DO NOT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS?
They found one attack from blacks, an other from asians and they concluded that the 1447 attacks was not from Europeans but from Africans or from Asians!
If we are blaming ONLY AFRICANS AND ASIANS FOR THE ATTACKS AGAINST INDIANS, IF WE BELIEVE THAT NO ONE EUROPEAN ATTACKED INDIAN STUDENTS, if we accept this kind of racists conclutions, then I believe that a big part of the attacks was racial motivated.
In a racial environment, with racial conclusions, logicaly racial attacks are expected!

My english is not good, I do not understand the meaning of many words. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thank you for the Opossums Banjo, they make lovely slipper linings.

I wish NZ would just become a state, the rest of the world thinks we already are. But then state law would make sense cause the state of NZ still owes the Maoris and will continue to do so. Otherwise I don’t understand state law but I will go hassle Peter about it in another thread.

Overseas I had to translate Aussie speak for the English people. But I also watched a Lebonese woman translate French between a Canadian and a French person.

I wanted a deck built out front of my house, you trying being a Kiwi woman ringing around Aussie builders ask for a big one of those!

Do you have any Australians in your rugby teams?

Well it would have to be a collective opening of all boarders everywhere. Maybe not China.[snigger] But they would still need money, still need to buy or build accommodation, buy food. You already have a rule about welfare don’t you and how you can’t just arrive and collect?

Hey wasn’t one of Aussie’s war payoffs from the yanks that you can now move there?

Antonios, you make a lot of sense and are worthy of all support and respect.

Victoria’s Brumby has been cowed by the ‘racist’ shrieks. He has announced a ‘Walk for Harmony’, and even more PC hate-crime legislation.

Nothing said about the POLICING of violence.

"Nothing said about the POLICING of violence."

I agree in a sense that this is at the root of the problem - bad behaviour is basically being condoned by a lack of action on the part of society.

"Victoria’s Brumby has been cowed by the ‘racist’ shrieks. He has announced a ‘Walk for Harmony’, and even more PC hate-crime legislation. "

That sounds a little too convenient for a couple of reasons. 1 - If the horse (ie sociey) is dead, it doesn't matter who the jockey is or how hard he flogs the horse. 2 - If Brumby gives more power to police, for instance, they can go off on their narrow crusades and nail people quite hard for very small infringements. This will lead to claims of overpolicing etc.

The only solution to both aspects of the problem is that the WHOLE of society plays a part in policing society. But, I know the chances of that happening any time soon are probably Buckleys & Nunn.

Leigh,
Sorry, my last post was meant for the thread on Immigration.

In your opening post you are sceptical of the 'racist' tag being applied by the Indian demonstrators and the media in relation to bashings and robbery in western Melbourne. I agreed as I have seen too often the 'racist' tag being used to stop debate and to gain attention. I advocated caution to the posters here.

However the lack of disclosure, by the Vic police and the media, in relation to the ethnicity of perpetrators makes me suspicious that something is being covered up. Brumby's stupid 'Walk for Harmony' responce simply is meant to pacify the students, when as you say more policing should be implemented.

Funny how the Vic government and the media, by ommission, have allowed the public and the world to think Aussies are the attackers and the motives are racist. The police said they believe the attacks have been opportunistic.

Some information is now coming to light that the attacks may be both opportunistic, as the Indian students are seen as easy targets, and racist in that the attackers are mainly African youths. It has been long rumoured that there has been quite a lot of problems involving African youths in Melbourne and the police are reluctant to disclose their enthnicity.

I would not doubt that there are Anglo-Aussies involved in the bashings as well. Bad habits seem to be picked up easily.

It will be worth keeping a close eye on the situation there as more information is uncovered.
