A lot of love has been lost between India and Australia in the resent times….And going by resent calls from friends and family back in India…. A very negative image of Australia has been created by the media reports…. Here is a list of things the media may not have reported about Australia
Australia has an exemplary record of sending out aid for natural disaster across the world …. Especially the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami…..Australia committed more than 1 billion dollars across Asia for relief and rebuilding….I have seen Australians come out and give their hearts out whenever a disaster occurred anywhere in the world…
Australia probably is the only country that has apologised for the injustice done to its native population…. It was quite a sight to see Kevin Rudd the prime minister of Australia publicly make an apology to the aboriginal Australians from the parliament …Something which every aussie is proud of and they should be...
Australia does not have capital punishment… They do not hang anyone… no matter how heinous the crime ….
From hosting the best ever Olympics (Sydney 2000) to various world events like Australian open, Melbourne grand prix … Australians have proved themselves to be one of the best hosts in the world….I was here when the 2006 commonwealth games were hosted…. Hospitality at its very best … All I have to say for it….
The society in Oz is as multicultural as you can get…. From Europeans to Africans to South Americans… Indians, Chinese , Vietnamese, Singaporeans… You name them and you find them here…..
These are few of many things I could have written about the Australia I know…
So India before you judge …. Keep these in mind…
26th Jan Australia Day and Republic Day India
Have a good one mate!
