The High Court has ruled laws in Victoria and Tasmania banning anti-abortion protests near clinics are valid.
Two people prosecuted in Victoria and Tasmania told the High Court they'd been denied their right to freedom of political communication.
The case involved Kathleen Clubb who was arrested after trying to give a pamphlet to a couple outside a Melbourne clinic, and a man caught protesting with placards within 150 meters of a clinic in Hobart.
It comes nine months after New South Wales parliament passed a law making it illegal to communicate, film or intimidate a woman inside of a 150-metre radius of an abortion clinic.
