Brumby assures safety & quality education in Oz

New Delhi, Sep 25: Premier of Australia"s Victoria state John Brumby who is on a visit to India to assure the country of the safety of its students down under, continued his campaign on Friday, Sep 25 saying that Australia would tighten laws to prevent racial attacks.

Reaffirming that Oz was committed to providing a safe and a secure environment for its foreign students, Brumby said, "We have tightened laws in the State of Victoria to prevent racial attacks on foreign students."

"We'll give police more powers and more resources to make sure we get the message out clearly in the community. Anybody who undertakes acts of racism or violence in Victoria will feel the full force of the law," Brumby added.

Australia is considering introduction of special legislation to avoid attacks and also to help the judiciary figure out if the attacks are racially motivated or not, Brumby informed.
