The Foreign ministry has issued travel advice for Australia in the backdrop of increasing racism in the country.
The ministry issued the travel advice on Tuesday (Mar 19), five days after similar advice issued for New Zealand, where 50 people were brutally killed in shootings in two mosques on Mar 15.
"Bangladesh nationals living in Australia and Bangladesh nationals travelling to Australia are advised to be vigilant at all times, particularly in public places, stay informed of potential risks to safety and security by monitoring the media and other local information sources,” reads the travel advice.
It also mentioned that the High Commission of Bangladesh in Canberra remains at service and can be contacted at the following numbers for information:
Phone: +61 424472544, +61 424472544, +61 450173035

Hours after the Mar 15 attack, which claimed the lives of five Bangladeshis, the Bangladesh High Commission in Australia issued a travel advice for New Zealand.

“All Bangladeshi citizens living in Zealand in general and in Christchurch in particular are requested to keep calm, avoid places of congregation and to follow instructions from the police at all times,” the advice read.
