Margaret Court already tried that (and shes part of the ACL).
Got no traction because it went in one ear and out the other of most Australians.

Assuming the bible is true, a modern day Jesus would prefer the company of homosexuals and atheists to Folau and his ilk.
"The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners." Mt 11:19
Do I hear an Amen?

I wonder whether Jonesy will seek Izzy's forgiveness.
Um! Don't think Jesus made any reference to gays. It's Paul who that well informed Biblical scholar Izzy has relied upon to condemn gays to eternal damnation.

The antichrist, the false prophet, and satan herself.
The bible foretold this event.

Not quite an amen. Quote one verse in isolation and what he said loses all context. Amazing how different the picture is when placed back in context.

No way in Hell it only costs that if it goes through multiple appeals all the way to the High Court.
Easily see it costing $1million.
A QC can cost up to $5k an hour. And they always travel with seniors and juniors.
That said, it doesnt explain the other $2m being asked for.

Castle has come out said Folou's sacking had nothing to do with his religious beliefs.
He's one of those neanderthals who takes the Bible text literally - oh, and selectively. University theological schools don't interpret the Bible that way these days. It's the fundies province.
Is Chopper going to be on as well?

Might want to consider costs to the opposing side if decision goes the other way; costs generally follow outcome. Costs may also be complicated in instances of refusal to settle if initial settlement offer is more or equivalent to eventual damages awarded; assuming the case is won.

It's consistent with her statement.
Rugby Australia chief executive Castle and her Waratahs equivalent Andrew Hore said in a joint statement they intended to terminate Folau's contract "in the absence of compelling mitigating factors".
"Rugby Australia and the New South Wales Rugby Union have made repeated attempts to contact Israel both directly and via his representatives, and at this point he has failed to communicate directly with either organisation," the statement read.
"Whilst Israel is entitled to his religious beliefs, the way in which he has expressed these beliefs is inconsistent with the values of the sport. We want to make it clear that he does not speak for the game with his recent social media posts.
"Israel has failed to understand that the expectation of him as a Rugby Australia and NSW Waratahs employee is that he cannot share material on social media that condemns, vilifies or discriminates against people on the basis of their sexuality.
"Rugby is a sport that continuously works to unite people. We want everyone to feel safe and welcome in our game and no vilification based on race, gender, religion or sexuality is acceptable and no language that isolates, divides or insults people based on any of those factors can be tolerated.
"As a code, we have made it clear to Israel formally and repeatedly that any social media posts or commentary that is in any way disrespectful to people because of their sexuality will result in disciplinary action.
"In the absence of compelling mitigating factors, it is our intention to terminate his contract."

Won’t happen, but how good a bit of live tv would that be....some one ambushing Jones to his face about his sexuality, querying the strength of his views on Folau’s tweets given that.
Shitty ambush move on a bloke in the closet, but Jones has made a career out of dirt, so fair play I say.

Perhaps, but I could get into a bible ping-pong battle with you until the end of time about whether Folau is right or wrong.
I'm sure my opinion, as an atheist, carries little to no weight among fundamentalist Christians, but I firmly believe the Jesus of the gospels would have opposed Folau in this instance. Even Brian Houston has spoken against Folau's tactics, and he's probably the most respected spokesperson for born-again Christians in this country.

If he doesnt speak for RA then there is surely no problem with him sharing his personal views !

Far too many Christians spend far too much time with the Old Testament.
Jesus would have despised Hillsong.
