So with the terror bombings and gang rapes to go by, Australians draw a not improbable conclusion.

Hardly evidence of pre-judgment at all. If negative feelings were stronger towards aborigines, and less so towards Arabs, that would seem to be evidence for prejudice and stereotypical thinking-- but that's not shown in this survey.

Actually there's a very large group than nver gets any attention from "racist Aussies":

People of Indian, Ceylonese, Sikh descent. They're about 1.33% of the Australian Population, 250,000 people: greater than the Spanish, Lebanese, and Vietnamese.

And can they get any attention from "racist Aussies"? Not a sausage.

Reason: Shared cultural values between India and Australia: English languange, free market economy, Westminster system parlimentary democracy, Independent legal system based on English Common Law, freedom of press (especially vigorous in India, mayber less in Oz), and they play cricket.
