Just to clarify as well, as Snake is muddying the waters on this issue;
Rugby Australia terminated Israel Folau's contract by finding that he breached Rugby Australia's own code of conduct, which states specifically that "any public comment that would likely be detrimental to the best interests, image, and welfare of the game" would be a breach.
The entirety of Israel Folau's case rests on proving that his comments are somehow 'exempt' from the code of conduct of which he voluntarily agreed to abide by as part of his employment.
Given that it's enormously expensive to go to the High Court to fight a case like this, it's a matter of compromise if Folau gets a settlement. That's all.
