Chris Nelson, 64, initially claimed his Facebook page had been hacked after his vicious insults went viral.
One the hateful comments he posted read: “Go back to the bush and suck on witchity [sic] grubs and yams”.
Nelson entered a guilty plea last month and was sentenced in Woy Woy Local Court.
His social media accounts have since been shut down.
