Heft fines will be introduced next month to animal right activists

Hefty fines targeting animal rights activists who illegally trespass on New South Wales farms will be introduced next month in a crackdown on biosecurity laws.

Illegal trespassers could face on-the-spot fines of $220,000 per person and $440,000 for organisations.

Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said a trespasser could contaminate farming produce and have entire farming operations wiped out for biosecurity.
