AUS-HARMONY 2 LAST

"All this negative stuff that's happening has to be
nipped in the bud. It doesn't reflect what Australia is all
about. Australia is a wonderful country that embraces
multiculturalism, and the website's all about working together
for peace and harmony," Pisasale said.
Over 100 incidents of attacks on Indians, particularly
students, were reported in 2009 in Australia and the assaults
have continued this year unabated.
21-year-old Nitin Garg, who was stabbed to death by
unidentified assailants while he was on his way to his
part-time job in a restaurant here, was the first victim of
such assaults this year.
The Australian government had given a dossier on the
attacks to India, which showed that nearly half of the
assailants had been juveniles.
Under pressure from India, Australia also set up a
high-level ministerial working group to comprehensively study
the slew of attacks on Indians in the country. PTI
