We do not know for sure if anyone else besides indians are being assaulted. Why would the Indian media report any assault on any other besides indians. In my opinion, the media has led us off track to a long extent. I suggest you also read the Australian newspapers version of the events and compare both the stories.

I am completely satisfied with what Baljeet is saying..Australian Government is just taking benefit by name on international studies as universities even are placed in only 1-2 rooms and they issue them license for providing studies.there is no future people are here and they are cleaning dishes or working in factories,warehouses even after 12-15 years. We people are only like labour which can be used and thrown out at anytime for cheap prices.Even if you are intelligent australian people will get priority over you. There is no way of going back after spending whole of the savings of your family in fees and cost of living.
