Religion Folau

[SBD Gonzalez]

I would say somewhere between $5 and $8 million is probably close to the money.

Cant see Folau accepting less than $5 mil.

I’m guessing 5 to 6 million.

Based on... what?

You don't get to just name your price in a legal dispute.

If you don’t think that Folau got $4m for his contract, plus $1m in compo and extra for legals, you’ve got rocks in your head.

I would be surprised if was less than 8 million.

So, good to know, your opinion is based on nothing?

Like I said, I don't care either way, and Fitzsimons particularly annoys me, but he would be a lot closer to RA than you or me, and even though he says he has no idea what the actual figure was, it's perfectly feasible that he would have been given some sense of their legal team's high level of confidence in the strength of their case.

Folau can ask as much as he wants, but at the end of the day, in a confidential case, if his opponents hold all the cards, and his legal team realises how poor their chances are, he's going to accept whatever scraps they throw his way.

Are you of the belief that Raelene was lying when she said it was nowhere near $8m? Folau would’ve taken $6m and RA knows that if they fought it he probably ends up with $10m.

You have not made your case in any shape or form ("I'm guessing" is not actually a clincher, just FYI), and now you resort to dumb gifs.

Got you pegged, thanks, now run off and play with your gif maker.

Haha ok in that case the precise number is $7.95m

Ruined Castle: CEO’s stock rock bottom after crumbling on Folau

Raelene Castle stood up to Israel Folau on a matter of principle - then rolled over and settled, rather than see the fight through to the end.

www.smh.com.au

Even this looney is saying it is at least $2.5m and could be up to $5m. You’re on drugs if you believe it’s only $300k.

Do these big beautiful Polynesian-Australian smiles say 'we were only paid out a measely $2.5m'? I think not. Those are $8m smiles my friend.

 

[Sainteric]

Is there a legislated right that says that no matter what you say, you can't be sacked for it?

Joe make a fair fist of it, and why the left has to stop constraining free speech, which is the underlying issue

The 300k figure is something Fitzsimmons made up.

No, the underlying issue was Folau's hypocrisy and RA's lack of ticker. If either of them truly believed in their moral crusade there would have been no settlement. Remember, free speech does not mean being able to say whatever you want without any consequences whatsoever.

Has RA even got that much?

Why are you continuing to accept the pirates propaganda that ‘RA held all the cards’?
Clearly they didn’t, because if they did, wanting to wrap this chapter up urgently or not, there is no way an organisation as financially vulnerable as RA would be cutting any sort of deal with Izzy where he walks away with $5 mil +.

Izzy clearly had whip hand here, and RA knew it.

Pretty much this line sums it up, in reference to what Castle said.

“At the end of the day we stood up for the values of Rugby Australia,” she said, a day after they refused to go to court to stand up for the values of Rugby Australia.

Spot on Jack! Hammer and Nail stuff!

RA's hypocritical policy was what allowed the whole shitshow in the 1st place.

 

[Pessimistic]

People who crowdfunded him must feel pretty stupid

no mention anywhere of what happened to the dosh. I guess it will be ‘donated’ to a charity and end up in some political fund somewhere

 

[Snake_Baker]

They all supported him in their editorials, don't you read the news?

So

What!

 

[Socrates2]

So

What!

So Filou was used by the whacky right fringe defending 'freedom of speech' aka the right to be a bigot. It's the whacky right fringe Snake, the homophobes and the bigots. The wacky right are pretty hypocritical, you have homosexual Alan Jones bagging gays and Tony Abbott visting a convicted paedophile in jail.What's with that?

How do you connect Folau's religious dogma with the likes of Bolt and a freakin' homosexual like Jones?!

It's ****ing absurd!

You need to STOP "feeling" and START thinking.

Alan Jones promoted his gofundme page.

The money will be returned to those that donated even though many of them said keep it for the next fight.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Alan Jones promoted his gofundme page.

Yes, based upon libertarian principles. I happen to agree with him here despite the fact that I disagree with him on many other issues. He was capable of separating his sexual proclivities from his political beliefs.

Are YOU capable of moving beyond generic political group think in order to evaluate different issues based upon their own independent factors?

How very christian

anyway its great that its harder to sack or mistreat employees based on their beliefs. Somehow I dont think christian (or other religious) employers want to be held to that standard though

interested to see how they expect to legislate for such a highly hypocritical stance. It would require a religious belief to have more legal weight than another kind of belief. wouldnt you have to identify each belief?
