A notorious vegan activist and OnlyFans star has opened up about her topless protests and how the stunts have made her relationship with her boyfriend stronger.
Dubbed the nation's biggest pest by Western Australian authorities, Tash Peterson has endured numerous brushes with the law and caused a stir on the streets of Perth with her regular animal rights stunts.
She also flaunts her body on adult site OnlyFans to raise awareness for the cause to her growing fanbase of almost 10,000 followers.
But Ms Peterson has the full support of boyfriend Jack Higgs, who not only does her body paint, but also films her semi-naked protests.
The outspoken activist makes no apologies for the extraordinary lengths she goes to get her message across, despite constant death threats, abuse and countless court appearances.
'I use my body to raise awareness for those who have no bodily autonomy, whether it be topless or close to being nude and I think it works brilliantly to raise awareness for animals,' Ms Peterson told The Project.

She insists her boyfriend has no problem with her flaunting her body in public and on OnlyFans.
'It's well known for being a porn platform but I've used it as a way to make money to do what I want to do full-time for animal rights, she said.
'He doesn't see it as cheating and supports me for doing what I want to do with my body.
Mr Higgs admits he understands why other men would have concerns about their girlfriends exposing their bodies.
'Seeing Tash half naked or even fully naked with lingerie on in public I can imagine would be difficult for some boyfriends,' he said.
'However, I found it quite strengthening for our relationship.'
'At the start, it might have been a little bit weird. We were unsure about it but we realised there is nothing wrong with it.'
'It is an expression of Tash's body and she uses it confidently so I admire that.'

Mr Higgs is also a vegan himself.
'There's a lot public backlash so I want to be there for that,' he said.
But Tash is a strong person and she wants me to stand back and capture everything.'
'I want to be there exposing everything what's going on because this because this kind of public backlash is the thing we want to be exposing as well.
Ms Peterson also shared a softer and vulnerable side, admitting she hasn't always been comfortable about being the centre of attention.
