Daily Mail reports that a woman in Perth was caught on camera hurling racist abuse at an Asian couple, calling their children “rats”.

The incident occurred at Westfield Carousel Shopping Centre in Perth on Friday.

In the video, captured by the mother-of-two, the woman is seen saying, “I’m born here! You’re not. All you do is breed these things [points to the children]…. rats.”

“And then you want to take our country over. Fuck you,” she says before the video cuts off.

The mother’s three-year-old son, four-month-old baby and husband witnessed the incident.

“We were doing grocery [shopping] at Woolies carousel and had a very unpleasant episode,” the mother on Facebook.

“I’m so sad our little kids had to experience this, especially the three-year-old who was shocked Our big boy was totally shocked and terrified.”

Security guards also received abuse from the woman and were told to “get out of this country” because they “don’t belong here”.

“[The woman] then starts yelling at us: ”You bloody Asians shouldn’t be here either, you get out of this country,” the mother added.

“We work hard and we pay tax, we serve in community service and we are kind to anyone we meet (regardless of their race),” she continued.” Australia is a beautiful country and we love the people here.”

“Shouldn’t we love one another and live in harmony? Shouldn’t we pay great respect to the Aboriginal people who are the true owners of this land?”
