Safety in Australia following attacks on Indian students There has been a lot of publicity across Asia following a series of attacks on Indian students studying in Melbourne in 2009. As a result of these attacks many students who were planning on studying in Australia decided not to. But even though the attacks were a sad event, their prevalence was highly exaggerated by the Indian media.The attacks were portrayed as being racially motivated but in reality only a couple of them were, the others were ordinary crimes the like of which occur in any large city in the world. In fact, such muggings and assaults are relatively uncommon in Melbourne and Australia generally. Australia has some of the lowest rates of crime in the world and such crimes are, ironically, far more prevalent in large Indian cities.
