AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER
SAID INDIAN’S SAFER IN
AUSTRALIA
The Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd on Wednesday 24 th June 2009 said that the Indian students were safer in Australia than anywhere in the world, including the united states and united Kingdom. He said’ Australia is one of the safest countries’ The series of attacks on Indian students recently is the damage to Australia’s reputation in India and elsewhere.
At least five key departments of the Federal government, right from the office of the prime Minister are engaged in a damage control exercise, which includes amending the education services for overseas students (ESOS) Act, according to which the national Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and providers of Education and Training to overseas students has been drawn up. The Act was due for review in 2010-11, but the review has been advanced following the attacks maintain that Australia was very sensitive to the well being of every international student. Mr Rudd insisted that” any assault against any person is one assault too many for him. He again told that Indians and international students are safer in Australia than in most countries.
Further more, he pointed to the fact that 20 Australians had been murdered, assaulted or sexually assaulted over the past decade in India. “We don’t blame the people of India or the government of India for these incidents. These are things which regrettably happen.
Though the Australian government was seeing the attacks” opportunitic crime” instead of racist attacks as they were widely portrayed in the Indian media. Australia is a multi-cultural country. India had contributed vitally to Australia’s culture, music and food
