The High Court has thrown out an emergency bid by controversial American anti-abortion campaigner Troy Newman to restrain authorities from removing him from Australia.
Tom Howe, QC, who appeared for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, said the minister wanted to remove Mr Newman, who is being held at Melbourne's Maribyrnong detention centre, "at the earliest opportunity".
Following the ruling, Mr Dutton issued a statement announcing he had instructed his department to "expedite" Mr Newman's removal.
