Shocking moment woman launches ‘go back to China’ tirade at motorist outside Bunnings – then insists she is ‘in no way a racist’

A woman was filmed telling an Asian motorist to “go back to China” during a confrontation at a Bunnings car park in Hawthorn, Melbourne. The footage drew attention to the exchange, while the woman later said she regretted her words and was not racist.

The motorist’s son said the dispute began when the woman tried to merge into his parents’ lane and later blocked them from parking; she disputed his account, saying the driver had cut her off. The woman described the incident as a heated discussion and said she had received abuse after the video was posted online. Victoria Police and Bunnings had been contacted for comment.
