Attack on Indians in Australia

[india]

You all must have been reading the news about attack on Indians in Australia during May-June 2009. I really surprised to know that the Indians/ Indian students are being continuously attacked, why can't Indians protest against these attackes?

Some Indian media tried to justify the act of Australians by quoting this:
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." , it may be right to say this but Indian media should also look at the number of cases that have been officially reported by Indians to the Australian police and not sure how many not reported. Indian media is also trying to divert the issue by quoting how Indians in Australia are working part time to make to two ends meet. This no relevance to the attacks on Indians until the Indians are earning money honestly. This is also one of the example that Indians dont support Indians.

Shouldn't the Indian community leaders living in Australia guide the students on how to register protest in Australia. Some media channels have reported that Indian community is asking the students to stop protesting.

But most important question that is still unanswered is what is the safety of Indian Community / Indian students in Australia?

Is Indian government able to register protest with Australian government in a similar way the Australian government registers protest with Indian government if any Australian faces problem in India?
