Racist Attacks: Indian Envoy Blasts Victoria, But State PM Says Not To Worry
Barely a day after the Prime Minister of Victoria John Brumby jibed at the “unbalanced” comments of the Indian officialdom over racist attacks in Australia, Indian envoy Sujatha Singh called on Australia’s Governor-General Quentin Bryce to express her country’s unhappiness over the situation.
Citing more than 100 incidents of racist violence against Indians, she told Ms Bryce Victorian authorities were in denial over the scale of the attacks.
Mrs Singh, who sought the meeting with Ms Bryce in Sydney last Friday, is believed to have told the Governor-General that Australia is not racist but warned of long-term consequences unless more action was taken to prevent attacks.
She acknowledged whatever police in NSW, Queensland and South Australia had done to apprehend the culprits, but insisted but said Victoria was taking too long to respond. A lot more remained to be done before one could breathe easy, she said during the meeting with the Governor General.
The Victorian Premier’s comments came in the wake of the arrest of an Indian who had claimed he was set on fire in an unprovoked attack but who got burnt while setting alight his car for a false insurance claim. The PM also referred to an Indian couple charged with the murder of an Indian man in New South Wales.
