Indian students 'ditching' Australia after attacks LOL

Indian students 'ditching' Australia after attacks

Indian students are turning their backs on Australia after a spate of violent attacks and a crackdown on migration scams, threatening a 13 billion US dollar industry, education officials said Thursday.

IDP Education, Australia's largest student recruiter in India, said inquiries at its 14 offices there had dropped off by 80 percent amid a storm of negative publicity over alleged racial violence and exploitation.

"The way this story's been reported in India has very much overplayed what's happening," a spokesman told AFP.

"We are working hard to just remind people that Australian education is fundamentally high quality, and we think that we can change attitudes in the next few months."

The International Education Association of Australia, which represents universities' international student business arms, said Indian enrolments and interest in private colleges were already suffering.

Executive director Dennis Murray said vocational colleges would be particularly hard-hit with early indications of an industry-wide slowdown in 2010.

Student groups have said about 1,000 international scholars, mainly Indian, were already "in limbo" after their colleges closed and the number could hit 5,000 when the shake-out is complete.

"I think you would have to say that in parts of the industry, and that's probably in the private vocational insitutions in particular, there's an immediate effect starting to show," Murray said.

"So next year's going to be tough for them. For universities (it will be) probably tough too, but less so. Everybody would be carefully watching the figures."

Australia's higher education industry has swelled to some 15.5 billion dollars (12.7 billion US) a year, the country's third-largest export earner, with universities and colleges actively targeting India's growing middle class.

Man who attacked scribe in Oz an Indian

"The Indian undercover reporter who was assaulted in an inner Sydney suburb on Saturday has told an Australian newspaper that her attacker was an
Indian who threatened her in Hindi.

"I'm just very, very appalled with the Indian media assuming that this was a racist attack. It was absolutely not. My attacker looked like an Indian person and I was threatened in Hindi," the reporter, a 28-year-old long-time resident Down Under, told The Australian on Wednesday. "


An Australian journalist who was working with her on the investigative story gave attack's details to TOI on phone. "She was walking down a deserted street near the ABC studios in the inner-Sydney suburb of Ultimo when the attacker came from behind and hit her hard on the right shoulder and ran off. The attacker was wearing a turban she told me," says Wendy Carlisle, a reporter of ABC News's Four Corners' show for which the girl was working undercover. This particular episode was called Holy Cash Cows.

"She is deeply upset, shocked and frightened. Which is expected considering what she went through. She is well and safe though. Due to the ongoing investigations we are not at liberty to divulge any personal or additional information about the girl," the Australian journalist told TOI on phone. She added, "It's one of her own, so the attack is not a race thing."

Sources say that the girl was employed as a researcher but worked as an undercover reporter for a television programme on migration and education scams. The show was aired on July 27.

It is being suggested that the attacker knew she was working undercover. "I have reliable information that she was getting threatening calls prior to the show," says Amit Menghani, president, Federation of Indian Students of Australia (Fisa).

"Since the show's telecast, search warrants have been executed at the offices of a migration agent, Sanjay Deshwal," says Carlisle. This was done in a joint operation conducted by the Australian Federal Police, Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

The Australian education sector is worth 15 billion dollars, the third largest industry after iron and coal. The show for which the girl worked undercover exposed irregularities in educational institutes and agents involved in fake IELTS (Institute of English Language Testing System) certificates and work certificates.

The show revealed how dubious businesses and agents ripped off foreign students seeking vocational training and educational qualifications in Australia and how this led to a massive immigration scam. "After the show, the government has started auditing all colleges and institutes throughout Australia. It's also being said that whoever is caught in the scam, that person or college will be shut down," says Menghani.

Last year more than 73,000 Indian students went to Australia for education. Prompted by fake immigration and education agents, many were lured to enrol in cooking, hairdressing and accounting courses in the hope they would later qualify for permanent residency in Australia. The Four Corners show revealed how these students were being targeted with fake certificates and diplomas.

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

The opinion value, education and number of Aboriginals in Australia is very low unfortunately antiindian.

Mosques, Churchs and Temples are everywhere because they have little impact. A school on the other hand has a large impact, hence the recent declination of the Muslim school. They instead built a school for disabled children which is much more valuable than any Mosque, Church, Catholic school, etc.

You guys are too uptight. So... every weekend a few people get bashed anywhere!

Luckily, we still have our few sacred sites..everyone's welcome, BYO but please no glue or petrol. LOl!
