Amidst the current anti-Indian rhetoric sweeping Australia and the US, it is heartening to note the united, bipartisan stand of NSW Parliament in affirming the invaluable contribution of Indian community in NSW and Australia. Thank you Warren Kirby MP
We call upon other Parliaments across the nation unite to condemn and recognise the salient contribution of Indians in Australian society.
Surprisingly why hasn't any mainstream media carried this news? ABC News SBS News Australian Labor Party Australian Politics - SMH/The Age National Party of Australia The Australian Nine.com.au Channel 7 10 News Courier Mail News Corp Australia Liberal Party of Australia

Following debate across party lines, the motion was passed, sending a strong message of unity and respect.

Viva la Colonialism.
Explains why the US and Europe rushed to aid Pakistan after its nuclear sites were recently hit by India.
It's the US & UK aiding & abetting Pakistan based terrorists. Perhaps means they were in all along about Osama BL hiding there too and his capture and ex*****on was a false flag operation.
So the West is funding Pakistan to curb India even as it allies with India to curb China. Keep Asians fighting so the sun will never set on the West Empire.
And du***ss Asians fall for the ruse.
