Transit NZ further angers Destiny and Co.

Sat 5 Feb 2005 In: New Zealand Daily News

Destiny Church claims it and a small group of fellow-fundamentalists are being discriminated against after again being refused permission to march across the Auckland Harbour Bridge. The church and other religious groups wanted to march across the bridge on March 5 to protest against the civil union legislation and a "moral slide" in traditional family values. Transit New Zealand repeated yesterday that it would not allow the march for safety reasons. It said the march would be "highly dangerous to the travelling public and the marchers themselves". But Destiny claims that safety was not the real issue and that they had told Transit they were happy to march in staggered formation to ensure the walk was safe.
