Melbourne: A day after reports claimed that two more Indians were attacked in Melbourne, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said on Wednesday that no attack was acceptable to the government. 

On Tuesday, two more attacks were reported against Indians in Melbourne . While a student from Hyderabad was mugged, an Indian taxi driver was attacked by passengers.  

And in the backdrop of the continuing attacks, a new survey has said that 85 per cent Australians feel that racial discrimination is rampant in the country with one in five of them being a victim of verbal abuse.

Meanwhile, India has asked Australia to set up some kind of regulatory mechanism to keep an eye on agents of universities whom students contact and ensure proper wage for students who does part-time jobs there.
