I'd love to see the cane in school and a form of national service brought back to Australia. Start educating kids from a younger age on multiculturalism and teach

Why does everyone assume that whites are the violent ones who attacked out of racism?
It seems to me that all the people who assume that the attackers were white are the racists.
The Muslims have been attacking the Indians for about a thousand years now. How sure can anyone be that this is not an old conflict that has now Moved down under, brought in by immigration?
One article linked to on the first page of this thread names a perp.
www.thaindian.com...
Judge Pamela Jenkins said Friday the group had deliberately targeted victims of Indian ethnicity in the “unprovoked rampage”. She sentenced one of the attackers, Zakarie Hussein, 21, to four-and-a-half years’ jail with a minimum non-parole period of two years.
Zakarie Hussein doesn't exactly sound British, sounds Middle Eastern.
Setting fire to someone doesn't exactly sound like a move typical for white street gangs, sounds more like something you hear from India.

Hello,
I've been reading through ATS for a little while now but this post made me want to state my observations as an Australian.
I grew up in Liverpool which is a fairly rough place with plenty of hateful people of ALL cultures just looking for a reason to pick a fight.
I can tell you now
it is almost ALWAYS racially motivated.
As a country we love to tell the world that we are friendly and carefree but I can tell you there is a deep natural culture of racism in our society. If your back is turned you can bet that people of all ages are making quick judgments and comments about you based on your culture and social class.
The current notion that being a bad person is the new "in" thing holds true in Australia. We are very apathetic.

Hi everyone,
I have been a lurker on ATS for many years and decided now is probably a good time to start posting. I have watched the rise of violence and and bad feeling towards Indians, and I would like to add that I am not a racist, and have quite a few friends that are Indians and I find them to be respectful and hardworking.
Well, that's mighty white of you
I would like to try and give you my perspective on the situation here in Australia. By the turn of the 21st century Australia was starting to experience zero population growth. This is not exactly a good situation when the corporate takeover of society has started to shift into high gear.
While a sustainable population, with a reasonably high standard of living for most people is good for the individual, it is hardly condusive to turning a profit for the shareholders every year.
Now I don't know how to provide a direct link between the powers that be and increasing immigration, but around this time, numbers of immigrant and refugees were increased dramatically. Tens of thousands from Somalia and other African nations were brought here.
Fifteen years ago, to see an African would have been a rare occurence, now there are suburbs where they are everywhere, and you would think you had driven into an African country. So far the African population has been peaceful, and I know of only a few cases where they have been involved in any form of criminal activity.
At the same time Indian immigration whether it be permanent or for students also increased dramatically. I would like to say first though that there has already been quite a large number of Indians in Australia. They are generally accepted and make quite an effort to integrate. Something that some other nationalities have not done very well.
There have been a few factors that have really annoyed many Australians about the Indian population, and if you listen to the general consensus, from the man in the street, you will hear the same sentiment repeated time and time again.
Phone companies which have long been a bugbear for Australians started outsourcing their call centres to India. I am sure that nearly everyone in the world has had problems with being on hold for what seems like hours, or being constantly shifted from one department to the next only to be eventually hung up on, after waiting for at least half an hour. Well, all of a sudden when you rang the phone company knowing this was going to happen, it was an Indian on the other end of the line doing it to you. And it wasn't just the phone companies, EVERY telemarketing company outsourced to India. And the frequency of unwanted intrusions by telemarketers which was already annoying, increased.
Boo-Hoo. I have a dell computer. Guess which country I speak to when I call tech support?

SWEET JESUS!!! SALESMEN!!! THE HORROR!!!
And finally nearly all of our taxi drivers are Indians. From personal experience and what I hear from others a lot of these guys can hardly drive or speak english. My girlfriend and I caught a cab at Christmas time to the airport which is one suburb away and the guy had to ask us for directions. He spoke hardly any english, could not operate the cab equipment or the GPS and did not even understand left or right. This is hardly an isolated incident and anyone who lives in Australia would know that this is the truth.
You wanna see no english? try getting a cab in manhattan
I believe, like most Australians, that everyone deserves a fair go. But the standards for entry into our country has been set ridiculously low, in order to increase the amount of immigrants eligible to arrive. And when we see that our customs ships have been boarded by so called refugees who will not leave until they are allowed entry into Australia, public opinion swings radically against them. I know I will probably be flamed and called a racist but this is what is happening in Australia.

There must be at least a dozen stabbing's a night in Melbourne alone and 50 other assorted assaults on people of different hue's, But that seems to go under the radar! I think it's just a case the Indians seem to complain to the media the most!

Every country has domestic crime and violence so....?
In other words when HATE/RACE crimes happen we should also let them go under the radar?

no evidence that the victim was targeted because of race, he was targeted because he was there at the time.
