Attacks On Indian Cabbies Continue in Oz, Taxi Council Chief Regrets Racism
In the small hours of today a taxi driver was viciously assaulted and robbed by two passengers in Carindale, a suburb of Brisbane, capital of Queensland, following an argument over the fare.
An earlier, unrelated incident, in another part of Brisbane, saw another Indian man punched and robbed.
Thus far it was the state of Victoria that used to report frequent attacks on Indians students, threatening the multi-million education industry. The government of India too weighed in, promising necessary attention. But now the attacks are reported from another part of the country. Looks like the poison is spreading.
But as usual politicians are in a hurry to rebut charges of racism.
Queensland's Acting Deputy Premier Andrew Fraser told ABC Radio, "We want to make particular effort today to emphasis to everybody here in Australia ... and to those people intending to visit that Australia is a tolerant society and no one endorses - everyone abhores - any violence against any individual.
"And In fact, crime has been dropping here in Queensland by more than 26 per cent since 2000 and that's what we want to emphasis to people.
"We don't want this to be blown into something that we don't believe it is."
