CJ, I hope that you didn't think me too abrupt in responding. I just think that the reporting on this issue does not necessarily mesh with the facts.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-72222591519108840982009-06-25T16:07:00.682+10:002009-06-25T16:07:00.682+10:00I am not sure about your comment CJ. it is true, I...I am not sure about your comment CJ. it is true, I think, that Indian students are safer in Australia than some other countries. Still, that's beside the point. We have a responsibility to look after our guests.<br /><br />I do not think that the question of Indian students working has anything to do with the issue, nor Mr Rudd's views of the Chinese. <br /><br />Nor, for that matter, anything about covering up. It is hard to talk about covering up when an issue has received saturation Australian media coverage.<br /><br />One of my points in all this has been the need to be aware of the facts. In Harris Park, for example, we have a previously Lebanese dominated community that is now Indian dominated because of the arrival of students and others. The attacks here have nothing to do with the broader Australian community. <br /><br />To suggest that if Australia cannot stomach it we should say so is purely insulting and at variance with the facts.<br /><br />I am not intending to be rude. I am suggesting that you should do a little investigation. If I am wrong, please give me more evidence.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-70861682756256402432009-06-25T01:14:21.914+10:002009-06-25T01:14:21.914+10:00Sir,
