Cantabrians were furious yesterday with news that the Freedom and Rights Coalition group have had $50,000 worth of fines dropped by the Christchurch City Council. This followed their protests through streets of Christchurch and occupation of Cranmer Square earlier this year.

Destiny Church pastor and leader of the protests, Derek Tait, called Newstalk ZB Canterbury Mornings to defend the dropping of the fines. Claiming the protestors were rate payers so were not required to pay anything towards costs.
