A controversial vegan activist has been banned from every pub in Western Australia after storming a restaurant and chastising patrons about the "fish holocaust".

Perth local Tash Peterson, 27, said she'd been served a notice banning her from all licenced premises in the state. If she does set foot in a restaurant, pub, or club, she could be charged with trespassing and handed a A$10,000 (NZ$10,778) fine.

"The government will continue to vigorously defend the interests of Australian wine makers using the established system in the WTO to resolve our differences," Dan Tehan, minister for trade, tourism and investment, said in a joint press release with the Agriculture Minister David Littleproud.
