'Mushy-headed vegans': WA may introduce restraining orders to curb animal activism

John Quigley says laws include 'ongoing orders' for activists who have been charged with trespassing

Western Australia is considering introducing restraining orders for animal activists to prevent them returning to farms and slaughterhouses, a move the attorney general said was aimed at "mushy-headed vegans".

John Quigley said the proposed laws would go before the cabinet of the McGowan government next week and would "include ongoing orders" for activists who had been charged with trespassing on a farm or agricultural business to "desist from the conduct".
