Australian attitudes ranks India poorly

A recent survey says Australians have a negative attitude to some of our nearest neighbours. Out of ten countries, Indonesia and India, along with Israel, score the worst.


Presenter: Matt Abud
Speakers: John Utting, UMR Research; Gautam Gupta, Indian Students Federation of Australia spokesman; Alison Carroll, Asia Link

I am always surprised at such outcomes not because the outcomes are unexpected, but because both the Governments – Indian and Australian, are lacking a will to do anything about it. I believe the attacks are a result of such attitudes and not enough has been done to change this attitude.

It is high time that both the countries start seeing each other as more than mere trading partners.
