College journalism students Fang Chen, Shuyi Sun and

Kevin Chan Do asked whether the State Government was doing enough to protect international students from

violence.

Jeff Saunders (Australian), lecturer: '' It isn't. The Government should do more to protect them because India is our third or fourth export country. For moral and financial reasons, the situation must improve.''

Mwape Dysoh (South African), student: ``Not enough.

There are many cases where students have been attacked in the past but the Government didn't pay

much attention. The Government should treat everyone as national citizens.''

Beth Jabornik (Australian), science student: ``No. I think the Government should involve the police at

places like railway stations. Many years ago they should have educated people to be fighting racism''

Zaid Al-lawati (Middle Eastern), engineering

student: ``I don't think so. The Australian Government

has not put enough effort in, although it can assure safety for the population.''
