Australia's most notorious vegan activist begs fans for $30,000 to leave the country

A notorious vegan activist has asked her followers to help her raise $30,000 so she can pay a travel bond and attend an animal rights 'camp out' abroad. Tash Peterson, 31, surrendered her passport and declared bankruptcy in May this year after losing a defamation suit. Western Australian Supreme Court Chief Justice Peter Quinlan found in 2024 that she and her boyfriend, Jack Higgs, had published defamatory claims about a vet 'eating her own patients'. Peterson and Higgs were ordered to pay $280,000 in damages. But the young activist wants to travel to the United Kingdom and deliver a speech at the Vegan Camp Out Festival in Hertfordshire over the final weekend of August. She and Higgs will have to pay a $30,000 bond for their bankruptcy trustees to retrieve their passports. 'We are bankrupt and need $30,000 to get to the UK for the Vegan Camp Out,' she said in a video shared with her followers on social media. Higgs claimed the pair were 'forced into bankruptcy' by the defamation case. 'Our bankruptcy trustees said that we have to pay $30,000 if we want to go to the UK, because they're concerned we're going to flee Australia for good,' Peterson said. 'Because of this we're trying to raise funds so that I can give my speech... the only purpose of our trip is so that I can speak up for non-human animals not to run away.' Higgs said the bond, once returned after the trip, would go to funding the Farm Transparency Project, which produced the vegan cult film Dominion. Peterson's mother, Sally, is hosting the pair's GoFundMe page online, which has so far raised $3,200. In April this year, WA vet Kay McIntosh's lawyer, Martin Bennett, said neither Peterson nor Higgs had 'attempted to pay a cent' of the defamation damages. The Daily Mail has contacted Peterson for comment. Peterson has carried out controversial protests on several occasions including 'gatecrashing' restaurants and agricultural events. In March, she burst into The Lamb Shop at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast playing the 'screams of terrified animals' from a speaker attached to her belt. 'Do the screams make you feel guilty?' she asked customers before she was confronted by a worker. She has also covered her body in fake blood on numerous occasions and paraded through public locations while carrying pro-veganism signs. Last year, the semi-clad activist protested in a bloodied stunt outside David Jones on Hay Street in Perth's CBD. She highlighted the message by lying on top of a 'blood-soaked chopping block' which read: 'David Jones: Drop Wild-Animal Skins'. Peterson launched an OnlyFans page in 2022 to fund her career-activist ambitions, publishing a lengthy video explaining the move at the time. 'I get accused of being an attention seeker, I get accused of sexualising myself, I get accused of just doing my animal rights activism to promote my OnlyFans account,' she said. 'Obviously in our society today we think women are treated equally however there is so much ingrained misogyny amongst men and women today because a lot of people are saying women shouldn't be wearing lingerie, they shouldn't be going on OnlyFans and getting paid to be topless or naked. 'I completely dispute this because I think women should be able to do whatever the hell they want to with their bodies.' Her OnlyFans revenue was scrutinised in court in April, following the bankruptcy declaration. The justice rejected the pursuant's attempts to conflate Peterson's activism and her trust company, V-Gan Booty PTY LTD, which owns her subscription operations. He said Peterson's OnlyFans revenue was likely boosted by her notoriety as an activist, but said not all of her actions were 'in her capacity as a director or agent of the company', according to the West Australian. The company raked in $250,952 in taxable income for the financial year 2021-22, of which $132,948 came from online subscription sales.

Celebrity SAS star reveals the show's ‘greatest ever escape' went unaired and left Ant Middleton fuming

A CELEBRITY SAS: Who Dares Wins star has revealed the show's "greatest ever escape" which went unaired and left Ant Middleton fuming. The Channel 4 show is not for the fainthearted and sees 14 famous faces trying to keep up with almost impossible tasks. 5 5 5 Celebrity SAS sees former Special Forces members put the celebrity contestants through their paces in an intense training camp. Ant, who was axed from the UK's SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2021, was well known for his tough persona on the show. Now a former celebrity contestant has spilled the beans on an unaired scene that infuriated Ant so much he inflicted a harsh punishment on him. Rugby ace Sam Burgess took part in the Australian version of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins two years ago, which Ant joined after he was axed from the UK show. The sportsman revealed that he was told he performed the "best escape they had ever seen on the show", but how it was never aired Spilling the beans, Sam told The Overlap and Betfair's Stick to Cricket show: 'When I did Celebrity SAS, it was a 15-day course. 20 start and only a few finish it. "By day 12, you're sleep deprived, food deprived, freezing. They'd taught us: if you're captured, try to escape - transport is your best chance. 'We get ambushed, hooded, zip-tied, thrown in stress positions. After two hours, we're loaded into a minibus. "I pop my restraints, peek under the hood and I see one driver, one cameraman, one soldier, no guns. I think I can take these guys." Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying and cheating' on show - as another quits Continuing, he said: 'I waited for my moment, ripped the soldier's comms off, threw his phone out, choked the driver, 'Pull the f***ing van over now.' He's silent, so I start tugging the wheel. "Told another contestant to pull the handbrake and take the keys. We screech to a stop, throw them out, and I drive off with the others. 'We're free - driving around for 40 minutes - I even thought about going to KFC. Eventually I spot a pub, pull in. Fifteen minutes later, we are surrounded by cars." He the said that Ant wan't happy about his actions, and bestowed a harsh punishment on him. 5 "Ant Middleton gets on the bus, they absolutely flog us for 12 hours - tied up, thrown in shipping containers," Sam revealed. "Two contestants quit. None of it ever aired, but they told me it was the best escape they'd had.' Ant spent years fighting for his country during his military career in the Marines and the Paras. He was chief instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins before he was sacked after a series of blunders. One included a tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement. There was a social media backlash in June 2020 after Ant posted a video of violence at anti-racism protests in London. He tweeted: 'The extreme left against the extreme right. "BLM and EDL are not welcome on our streets, absolute scum. "What a great example you are to your future generation. Bravo." The same month, Channel 4 set out a "new and clear commitment" to being an anti-racist organisation and said Ant's tweet 'in no way represent the views of Channel 4'. Discussing what happened for him to lose his job, he told The James Smith podcast: 'Witch hunt? I never thought that existed until the latest shenanigans with SAS UK. 'Ultimately people can see through it and know I was pushed before I could jump.' Speaking about the BLM tweet, Ant also defended himself at the time, telling The Sun: 'If you have half a brain cell you will realise what I was talking about. 'It was the protesters fighting and violence and rioting in broad daylight. Everything I fought for abroad to stop happening on our shores.' Meanwhile, the latest series of the UK's Celebrity SAS has been full of drama. In the first episode, two stars quit, before Love Islanders Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri followed suit in the second instalment. While none of the celebrities handed in their armbands in the latest episode there was still a double exit. The Traitors star Harry Clark was given his marching orders by the furious staff. It came after they noticed he was cutting corners and not pulling his weight. His actions seemed to contribute to former footballer's Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa's decision to quit, after he shouldered much of the weight of the dinghy Harry's team was trying to transport in a race. With his bad knee flaring up, Adebayo ran out of steam due to the pain and was forced to withdraw when he couldn't continue.

Tim Minchin: ‘A cheap pinot noir is an offence'

Milo, which is like Nesquik but as Australian as Vegemite, was my favourite drink as a child. You put a tablespoon of it in your cup of cold milk and it tastes like Maltesers. I was 15 when I first tried alcohol and that was my friend's dad's mid-strength Tooheys 2.2% beer. My folks were pretty laid back about alcohol, but I didn't feel the need to drink properly until uni. I'm a bit depressed until I have my first coffee of the day, which is ridiculous. We live on Coogee Beach, Sydney, and my wife Sarah and I will walk half a kilometre up the headland over the hill to get a coffee. Sarah was my first girlfriend. We've been together for 32 years, and before that we were mates who clearly fancied each other, so we never went on a first date. I do remember being at the uni tavern playing pool together and drinking midis, or half pints, of Swan lager, and that being the first time she said 'I love you' to me. I pretty much exclusively drink red wine now. It doesn't get better than a good red in a big glass at the end of the day. There's a place in Sydney called The Theatre Bar At The End Of The Wharf. I remember being there in 2015 looking at the Opera House, knowing Matilda The Musical [for which Minchin wrote the music and which won a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards in 2012] was about to open in Australia. My kids were curled up on the sofas of the outdoor deck and I ordered an Aperol spritz, which is what I get when it's not dark yet and I want something sweet, silly and celebratory. For the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016, in Stratford-upon-Avon, I did a sketch riffing on 'to be or not to be' with David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rory Kinnear, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Harriet Walter, Sir Ian McKellen and Paapa Essiedu. Afterwards I was looking across the Avon at the moon, a glass of wine in my hand, while the luvvies were having a smoke. Ian, who I've met lots of times, was talking about how sexy Judi was when she was young, and I was reflecting on how she is the one octogenarian who I really, properly fancied. 'Oh, you must tell Judi that, she'll die', he said. I am not particularly interested in famous people, but I am interested in intelligent people. I've had a fantastic dinner with Richard Dawkins and Stephen Fry in Los Angeles, the physicist Brian Cox and I have got together in many places in the world and had wine, and I've had an amazing bottle of wine at Ian McEwan's house over dinner with Zadie Smith. I've also had a beer with Bono, a fantastic wine with Tom Stoppard and a limoncello at Steve Sondheim's house. It's a huge privilege, but it's really the authors and the scientists who get my balls tight – or whatever the phrase is. I like an espresso martini if I want to stay awake, but it's not classy. I'm not someone who seeks to be classy. I wouldn't have this haircut if I was going for class. A cheap pinot noir is an offence. There's something about a bad pinot that makes me think that it is deeply wrong to have it in my mouth. The song I'm most likely to sing after a few drinks is One by U2. It's a beauty. I'd have loved to share a glass with Kurt Vonnegut or Douglas Adams. Quirky, nerdy science guys. White wine is my wife's drink. Mine is red. And if I dropped dead I'd probably expect my wife to insist on red wine being the toast at my funeral. She would sensibly think that would be my wish.
