A WOMAN charged over an alleged late-night racist tirade on a train, which made national headlines, is waiting on a place in a rehabilitation centre before she makes a plea.
Peta Nugent, 38, was charged in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday with two counts of profane and obscene language and behaving in a riotous manner while on a Metro train between Parliament and North Melbourne train stations on April 10.
A further hearing has been scheduled.
A bail condition restricts Ms Nugent from being within 50m of metropolitan train stations and she will argue for the condition to be relaxed as she seeks placement in a rehabilitation program, the court heard.
Defence lawyer Vanda Hamilton said Ms Nugent was expected to plead guilty soon, but a delay might be caused if she was in rehab and needed access to trains.
