An Australian lawyer who abused a security officer at a Perth courthouse and told him to go back to Singapore was found guilty of professional misconduct by a tribunal in her country.
Ms Megan in de Braekt had told security supervisor Rajandran Kanapathy: 'I know you're from Singapore, go back to your country, we don't need people like you here.'
She also hurled an obscene word at him several times and said he had the 'short man's syndrome', a derogatory term that refers to a person having an exaggerated sense of his importance to compensate for his short stature.
Ms in de Braekt, while admitting she 'may have used' an obscene word against him, denied she was being racist when she told him to go back to Singapore.
