It's one thing being grossly ignorant, but I do admire your courage in displaying it in public for all to see...Go away troll it's all on the public record what his contract was.Great to see you taking the side of homophobia as usual.
All Issy need to do was not vilify homosexuals.You are far too kind to RA, no prob with your take on reactive/active, you understand my clumsy attempt at expression.
We certainly disagree over RA, whether they were forced to do anything, almost certain to get clarity from the Court case.
ALL RA needed do was acknowledge two points of view, as a tolerant body they accommodate each to their own.
I didn't intend to imply that you're an atheist; and besides it is irrelevant whether you are or not.I'm not advocating for the removal of publicly expressing theistic belief, I'm backing up Rugby Australia for all the reasons I've already stated. If you're implying I must be an atheist you would be wrong, I wish I could be as sure as they seem to be but seeing how 'christians' have reacted to the Folau issue by the time this is over I might be ready.
We've already got that so I don't see the point. When I say I would like to see religious organisations pushed back into the private realm, I mean I'd like to see it's influence out of government and the workplace. That isn't driving it underground.
I'm cool with limiting harmful religious bigotry.
Here is an article after the meeting with RA in 2018 following his homophobic comments.Have you seen Raylene Castles comments about the Bible's/Christians? Tolerant is not exactly a word I would used.
As far as I can tell there was no process and it's even doubtful they spoke to him 12 months ago.
Tim Costello telling christians to pull there heads in.Lol, you need to listen to Tim Costello my christian friend, a bigot is a bigot ,a homophobe is a homophobe and an ex-drunken womeniser is a hypocrite. Everyone knows that Filou and his wife are the two biggest jerks in Australia.
Isn't this thread about Rugby Australia and their right to breach Folau for religious bigotry and discrimination? I wouldn't like to see that taken away particularly from a sporting organisation.
I find it really difficult not to suspect partisan zealotry from anybody who sledged Abdel Magied but is now fiercely backing Folau.
He deliberately trolled Rugby Australia Lebbo in reposting the same meme they objected to a year before. His motivation the second time was not to save anybody.
It is, but you were the one that posed the question so I was just asking for examples of what, hypothetically, Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Australian Christian Lobby, if they joined forces could petition the Government for with regards to extra protections of religious freedoms that they don't already receive?
Recommendation 15 of the report issued to the PM on 18th May 2018 by the expert Panel on the Religious Freedom Review concluded that;We've already got that so I don't see the point...
Tim Costello is a genuine bloke who helps people, the people pushing the unnecessary religion freedoms act are fringe right wing nuts who are not true christians at all .We all know that. Christians are supposed to be for social justice but many are not, they are called pseudo christians and Jesus would spit on them.Tim Costello telling christians to pull there heads in.
But Reverend Costello doesn’t believe a Religious Freedom Act is necessary, calling for the debate to focus on “respect rather than rights”.
“I think we can coexist and that’s why I talk about respect rather than rights, with different beliefs and visions flourishing. That’s good for society. We don’t just look to the state or look to the individual.”
Christians in Australia need to ‘suck it up and calm down’
One of Australia’s leading religious figures has called for Christians to “suck it up” and “calm down” as the debate surrounding religious freedom laws continues to heat up.www.news.com.au
Respect!!!!! Hey Issy , have you read this?
How can you call it an expert panel when it's full of hateful Cory Bernadi types? What extra freedoms do u want that you dont have now? Is it to protect extremely wealthy homophobic sportsmen who can't keep their word? Fight to the death for that lol and gmabRecommendation 15 of the report issued to the PM on 18th May 2018 by the expert Panel on the Religious Freedom Review concluded that;
The Commonwealth should amend the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, or enact a Religious Discrimination Act, to render it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of a person’s ‘religious belief or activity’, including on the basis that a person does not hold any religious belief. In doing so, consideration should be given to providing for appropriate exceptions and exemptions, including for religious bodies, religious schools and charities.

I have no motivation to apologise for, or demonise Christianity, nor allow my prejudices to filter my perspective. That both “bad” and “good” can come from the same source, or that something integral to one stage of development must be abandoned to reach the next, is not incongruent to me; it is normal, even expected.
Take the free market economy, fiat monetary system and representative democracy as an example; it’s been a factor in unlocking all kinds of human potential, both “good” and “bad”, but it is not the final destination. At some point (I expect) humanity will happen upon something better and who knows, perhaps someone will do similar to you down the track and point to throw offs like pollution, corruption, wage gaps, child lab
The fact remains that Christian groups like the Quakers, who led the abolition of slavery, did so on the basis of Gosepl

I think we alrea
Here is an article after the meeting with RA in 2018 following his homophobic comments.
Interesting to see he said he would walk away from rugby which shows he knew his comments were in conflict with RA.
Folau stands by 'gays go to hell' comment and says he's ready to walk away from rugby
The Wallabies star says he is disappointed in the way Monday's meeting with ARU chief executive Raelene Castle and NSW Rugby chief Andrew Hore to discuss his social media use was portrayed to the media by Castle.www.abc.net.au
Issy wanted to play the knowledgeable hero but has just been shown to be a hate filled buffoon.
He wanted to convert the world to his stupid ideals and in doing so keep making comments which were homophobic and contravened RA policy.
Bigots against christians, we get.it.He's been posting homophobic rubbish for a while now.Australia already has religious freedom, probably more so than any one country.
He didn't break any laws whatsover, he reneged on his word and his contract and was sacked by the sponsors. He is totally free to post his hateful messages. If he is so principled, why is he begging for money off people who can't afford it? He has probably 8 million dollars in the bank from his AFL and rugby salaries yet I sit in amazement at the conga line of backward hateful people rushing to defend him. The guy is a jerk, he can leave Australia and go live in the Philippines if he wants, they hate gays over there.
I'm surprised at how many people fall for this freedom of speech crap, he broke a contract not to be a hateful homophobe, that's why he was sacked.
Maybe if he wins his case, 'NTTAWWTta bashing' will come back into vogue .That would be great wouldn't it .
What sort of a-hole defends George Pell and Israel Filou? They are called hateful religious zealots and don't belong in this country.
You continue to answer me with questions, what I asked was pretty simple.
No christisns are ok, it's the hateful homophobe hypocrites we dont like.Filou was a drunk drug taking womeniser for years, what right does he have to judge someone else, at least that is what Jesus would say.Bigots against christians, we get.it.
That is reasonably understandable, given that, as highlighted @ [1.24] of the report I referred to above, based on 2016 census, religion remains an important aspect of Australia's social fabric; 52.1% of the Australian population reported as Christian, 2.6% Islamic and 2.4 Buddhism.They want the positive right to express religious opinions ...
How many Christians go to church? They are dropping like flies, would be less than 7% of the population that go to church regularly. They only call themselves christian because their parents got them baptised. Since the royal commission into church paedophilia cover ups, attendance has dropped dramatically and so it should. The ones that are still left seem to be the antithesis of Jesus , they vote for racist parties, hate immigrants and don't care for social justice.That is reasonably understandable, given that based on 2016 census, religion remains an important aspect of Australia's social fabric; 52.1% of the Australian population reported as Christian, 2.6% Islamic and 2.4 Buddhism.

Thats the problem, not RA.
