Dear all,
I would like to share some facts and figures I had come across during my research:
In the year ending June 2009, there were 120,500 arrivals, an increase of 12 per cent relative to the previous 12 months. The racist attack on the student community has created a negative image but the Australian Tourism Board anticipates this to be short lived and will not affect arrivals beyond 2009. Australia is also partnering with the education sector to promote Australia for school excursions etc. For more information you can visit http://www.tra.australia.com/ or http://www.tourism.australia.com/
Regards,
Rishika Kothari

Subject: [prpoint] Is Australia safe for Indian students - An exclusive podcast with an Indian-Australian
dear friends
In the recent months, lot of media reports are coming about the so called 'racism' and violence in Australia. Huge number of Indian students go to Australia for higher studies every year. Such media reports have created more confusion in the minds of Indian students and parents. Even the Indian Government and the Australian Government are trying to sort out this issue.
In this background, today (5th Sep 09), I met Mr Bala Natarajan from Melbourne in a function. He is one of the leading businessmen in Australia in leather and hospitality industry. He has been living there for nearly 35 years. He has come to India for a week's stay. I immediately recorded his podcast interview about the situation in Australia in the same venue.
In his interview, he says, "Australia is the safest destination for all Indians; Australia provides opportunity for all the immigrants, provided they are willing to work hard and follow their rules; Many immigrants have prospered in their profession and in education; All the present confusion is due to some bad elements and there is no racism in Australia"..
Please listen to his podcast interview in the following link ( 4 minutes)
I am circulating this for the benefit of Indian students who aspire to go to Australia for higher education.
