Australian actor Isabel Lucas says an arrest warrant issued by Japanese police over her part in an anti-whaling protest won't prevent her from returning to the country.
The Logie award-winning actor took part in a high-profile protest in Japan at a site where thousands of pilot whales are slaughtered every year.
The former Home & Away star joined other celebrities and professional surfers to form a floating circle on surfboards offshore near the coastal village of Taiji in late October, sparking a heated confrontation with local fishermen.
Lucas, along with five others including Heroes TV star Hayden Panettiere, face arrest warrants for "interfering with international commerce".
But Lucas hasn't been deterred by the warrant, saying she was thinking of returning to Japan next year.
"They can't do anything while we're in Australia," she told the Seven Network's Today Tonight program.
"If we do go back to Japan there's the risk we would be arrested at the airport."
