Man caught writing racist slurs on neighbour's property
CCTV has captured the moment a man spray painted racist slogans at a New Zealand man's Queensland home.
Jason Herbert, 29, who lives in Browns Plains, claims he has been the victim of repeat racist attacks.
Hate slogans and white supremacist slogans as well as swastikas have been written- and an arrow has even been fired at his garden deck.
Jason Herbert said he just wants to live in peace. 9NEWS
Mr Herbert said his family, who are originally from northern New Zealand, has been a target since they moved in to the home six years ago.
"Whether it's because we're Kiwi of whether it's because some of my family are brown complexion..." he told 9 News.

The man was seen writing the slurs on a blue tarpaulin, at Mr Herbert's home, yesterday.
When confronted by 9News, he said: “I’m not racist. I’ve got Aboriginal friends and my partner is Aboriginal.”
Paint has also been poured over his shed, and a wooden fence that he shares with the neighbour was torn down after he contacted police.
“I would've liked to have been able to live in peace. Do your thing on your side of the fence, and leave us to do ours,” Mr Herbert said.
A public housing spokesperson said complaints about disruptive behaviour by tenants are taken seriously and residents can be relocated if they meet certain criteria and if there’s another property available.
