A woman on a NSW train has been filmed hurling a shocking tirade of racist abuse at an Asian passenger.
Footage of the offensive tirade, filmed this week on the Newcastle and Central Coast Line near Strathfield, has been uploaded online and attracted swift condemnation.
The abusive woman heckles an innocent Asian passenger standing next to the man filming an earlier incident, calling her a “gook”, mocking her accent, pulling at her eyes back in imitation and jeering her for coming to “our country”.
“He’s too lazy to jerk off, he can only get a gook,” the woman says about the man who had begun filming her when she became involved in another argument with the mother of children she wanted to stand up so that she could sit down.
“He can’t even get a regular girlfriend, it’s so sad, he’s got to get a gook,” she says.
The offensive woman goes on to call the man filming a “sad, poor, pathetic man” and taunts the woman beside him by repeating what she says back to her in a mocking Asian accent.
“Oh, look at this bogan here, he’s got a gook. Oh look at it, isn’t it sad that he can’t get a regular girlfriend, he’s got to get an Asian? And she probably thinks he’s rich,” the woman says.
The tirade reportedly was sparked after the woman phoned police from the middle of the moving train to complain about the children she had wanted to vacate their seats for her.
The man filming had no association with the Asian woman beside him, according to a person who posted the video online.

RACIST LADY ON TRAIN APOLOGISES
A woman who let loose with a torrent of racial abuse against an innocent Asian woman on a train says she is deeply ashamed of her behaviour.
The 55-year-old woman mocked the language and facial features of the other passenger on a Sydney to Newcastle train on Wednesday.
Police on Thursday night said a woman had been arrested and was being questioned over the racial abuse at a Central Coast police station.
After video of the attack went viral, the woman, identified as Sue Wilkins, told the Nine Network she just had a “brain snap” and couldn’t stop.
“I was just getting all this anger out at anybody that would be near me, anybody at all,” Ms Wilkins said on Thursday.
“No one deserves to be spoken to like that…”
…
They decided to let her “go about her journey”, police transport command assistant commissioner Max Mitchell told reporters.
Mr Mitchell didn’t know why she was allowed to walk free but stressed she would be charged for her “abhorrent and unacceptable behaviour”.
…
“It is a crime that we will not tolerate particularly in regards to the racial motivation behind this incident.”
Sydney Trains chief Howard Collins said he was shocked by the rant and the company would be working with police to investigate.
“I’m just amazed – we’ve got to stamp this out,” he said.
In April, Rebecca Blessington, 28, was charged after allegedly racially abusing two Asian women on a train from Town Hall to Bondi.
