Defensive Brumby offers to meet Indian envoy

By Melbourne news bureau
Melbourne: Victorian Premier John Brumby has expressed willingness to meet Indian High Commissioner Mrs. Sujatha Singh to brief her on the progress that had been made, including boosting police patrols in high risk areas like railway stations and toughening up police powers to search for weapons.
‘‘I’ll be able to inform her of all of these things and again to reassure her that Victoria is a much safer place than other places in Australia and indeed around the world,’’ Mr Brumby told reporters today.
Mr Brumby mooted a possible Indian taskforce to address racial attacks but said it would merely formalise work already occurring, reports The Age.
He will meet with cricketer Shane Warne tomorrow to discuss promotion of Australia in the sub-continent, including a possible friendship cricket game.
Earlier, Mr. Brumby had slammed the India for unbalanced reporting on the attacks.
