Jail for misogynist Vic bus tirade

One of two men who delivered a racist and misogynist tirade at a French tourist on a Melbourne bus has been jailed.

David Robert Graham, 36, and Hayden Stirling Stewart, 26, were captured on video swearing at and abusing the tourist on a bus in Melbourne's southeast in November 2012.

The rant was posted on the internet where it received about 4.7 million views.

During the verbal attack the woman was told to speak English or die.

Magistrate Jennifer Goldsbrough in the Moorabbin Magistrates Court described the offending as very, very serious.

She said the words were "overwhelmingly misogynist and sexist remarks and occasionally racist".

Magistrate Goldsbrough said the attack was unrelenting and the victim was not just the French tourist, but everyone on the bus.

She said Graham was the main player in the attack.

Magistrate Goldsbrough on Thursday jailed Graham for 21 days and placed him on a 15-month community corrections order.

Ms Goldsbrough said Stewart played a much lesser role in the attack than Graham.

She placed him on a community corrections order involving 150 hours of community service.
