Family First says it's been deregistered as a charity, but not defeated.

The Government and the Charities Board has removed charity status away after a Supreme Court case.

It's because Family First's advocacy has been ruled unfair, unbalanced and disrespectful.

Chief Executive Bob McCoskrie says other groups have opinions and have been able to keep their status.

He told Heather du Plessis Allan those celebrating the decision could be in for a rude shock.

“My warning to them is just: what happens when the state decides that their favourite charity’s opinion is unpalatable, they’re going to be the ones whining.”
