While every crime should be treated on its merits, and we should not automatically assume this latest crime was racially motivated, the history of past attacks, and arguably the slowness of Australian authorities to take the issue sufficiently seriously, means that just a single serious incident such as this has the Hindustan Times reporting that, "Indian government officials 'will be forced' to issue a (travel) advisory in the form of a warning to those who want to work and study Down Under, if the (Australian) authorities there did not take stern action this time." 
Wakati kila kosa linatakiwa kutendewa kutokana na ubora wa vigezo, na kwamba hatutakiwi kudhani kuwa kosa hili jipya zaidi la jinai lilisababishwa na ubaguzi wa rangi, historia ya mashambulizi mengine ya huko nyuma, na mwendo wa pole wa mamlaka za Australia katika kulichukulia suala hili kwa umakini unaofaa, vinamaanisha kuwa tukio moja tu lenye uzito kama hili kimelifanya gazeti la Hindustan Times kuripoti kuwa, maofisa wa serikali ya India ‘watalazimika’ kutoa maonyo (ya safari) katika mtindo wa kuwaonya wale ambao wanataka kufanya kazi au kusoma nchini Australia, ikiwa mamlaka ya Australia hayatachukua hatua kali wakati huu.
