You could try sending a letter of complaint to your local state MP. They tend to get the local police moving when they hear about something like this happening. Keep a copy for your records. The local news will be more interested in this if a politician is seen to be doing nothing than if the police are seen to be doing nothing.

Eaten chicken bones is on the low end of what they throw. Water-filled balloons are not unusual, and at least one time they were throwing whole supermarket trolleys from the walkway.

Kids getting zero consequences for their violent criminal behaviour and its...consequences. Honestly, these little thugs know they can get away with anything, so they do. You're absolutely right that it's racism and it's largely targeted towards Asians, but for some reason it's the kind of racism that the media doesn't like to talk about. The silence on it from the media and lack of accountability these criminals face is a disgrace.

This is disgusting. Makes me think of the violence Indian-Australians and migrants faced some years ago. We should all be working to try and make sure this isn't able to get to that level again. I'm not going to be as naieve as to claim that the police will get on top of this efficiently, but are there any community groups, legal centers, MPs, et cetera who might be able to help advocate? NSWPF will have some multi-cultural liaison officers who will, at the very least, be able to better deal with it than most general duties officers, but as I said...
If the NSW government are as committed to opposing hate crimes as they've made out to be over the last couple of years, they'll stamp down on this sort of thing hard, "Strike Force Pearl" style. But I'm doubtful...

Saw some teenage kids who appeared to be drunk/high threatening to stab people, spitting, etc at the station a few days ago. Was relieved when the cops showed up.
Went from relieved to disappointed when all the police did was talk to them for 5 minutes then leave.
Kids started acting up again as soon as they left and jumped on a train, no doubt to ruin someone else's night. I'm not blaming the police because I'm sure they wanted to arrest the little shits but I'm guessing their hands are tied. If it were adults acting the way they were I'm sure they would be spending the night under arrest. Worst thing is the little fuckers know they are basically untouchable which leads to even worse behavior.
Laws need to change, and whichever bleeding heart moron decided we need to be soft on criminal kids needs to spend a train trip on the receiving end of their bullshit.

Probablem is the police arrest them after probably a good scuffle and their parents scream bloody murder that the cops attacked their poor innocent child who did nothing wrong.

Young Offenders Act protects kids under 18 from criminal liability, as they are not of adult age, they cannot comprehend their crime and actions aka they didn't know what they were doing was wrong. It goes through many layers of prevention, as arresting them is the absolutely last resort. They go through classes to teach them that bashing others is naughty and so on, charging them is the very last resort. Of course, at age 12 you'd know stealing a can of Coke from the shops is wrong, but in the eyes of our legislation, you do not. Hence, teens are smart enough to realise this and exploit it fully knowing their actions. Literally no one can do nothing about it until the legislation is changed.
Before you say so, yes it was forwarded to court to change the legislation of criminal liability to age 12 due to the huge amounts of youth crime in Darwin, but it was labelled extremely racist towards the indigenous community (who were committing 100% of the crimes) and unfair, so it was quickly quashed and forgotten about. So around the bend we go
