Does that explain why MPs are now speaking out? ... and only after the Indian Prime Minister and High Commissioner expressed their concerns?
...

It is part of Governmental etiquette to reply.

Why publicly and in such strong terms, Happy? Diplomatic protocol requires a response if asked for. If MPs think that the students have it all wrong, they're certainly not saying it. They are condemning what they know to be true... the beginnings of 'curry bashing' as a cultural phenomenon as has been seen in the UK.

More power to Indians for refusing to accept the situation.

How does an MP, Minister or PM sack a policeman, Happy?

OK, Ministers and PM did not say that what Police did was wrong.
Better now?

You don't need me to tell you this, Happy. The police dispersed an angry crowd in accordance with their legal obligation to keep order.

Some things are worth getting arrested for.

Especially when your friends and kin are getting smashed over for no reason.

You just take it in your own hands as law obeying guest and smash if not perpetrator something else or be a nuisance, because this is your right and you are above local law, right?

I get your drift.

I doubt you do.

It's a pity it took all this to deal with a problem that's been worsening over a number of years and been largely ignored.

I don't want to take responsibility for authorities not taking seriously growing problem.

But amazes me that we so easily accept violence as means of justification.

Don't they do it in India?

The gravity of the crime justifies the protest against it. A scuffle or two with the cops from a protest against bashings hardly compares to having your teeth kicked out because you're Indian.

And at other consulates whose nationals are behaving badly. Seriously. Whitey protesting against racist attacks. Would be fantastic on TV in the evening.

NSW hasn't got enough police to keep up with the burgeoning migrant problem. While the Federal government keeps bringing more and more people here, the state's infrastructure is failing everyone.

All Australians deserve to live safely, but there are more attacks against white Australians now by ME youth than there are against Indians or other races. The Indians have got the right to protest as much as everyone else - maybe we should be protesting as well about our security, but we've become lethargic and accepting. All racial attacks should be dealt with swiftly and severely.

NSW needs to double its police force and build more gaols before this problem gets any worse.
