And the indian population in Australia makes up only a small percentage of the Asian percentage there.... So maybe if you were Chinesse or Korean you might have some more vilification. But Indians don't threaten our jobs, Australia is always saying come in, you are welcome to anyone.
There were attacks between Sri Lankans in Australia recently as well, does that make Australia racist, to different religions from one asian country attaking each other in Australia.
Everyone is from somewhere if you are Australian, so it doesn't matter if you are Indian or Hungarian, you will be treated the same depending on how you interact with others.

I can't imagine that there still isn't racism going on. Australia is in some ways similar to the US as it was conquered by Imperial England who told the native population that they don't count as a people or a culture. Then with different classes and races coming in later, I can't imagine that everyone just got along depending on how they "interact with one another". True equal rights is a modern ideal, and while racism has lessened in modern societies, it has yet to be completely obliterated.
