I kinda don't get it. I couldn't give two shits where Folau thinks I'm going after I die.
Me neither, it's a public service when these sorts of people identify themselves as bigots. Not comfortable with restricting free speech at all, even stupid drivel like this.

I am grateful to live in a free society with religious freedoms, press freedoms and very little censorship. But there are obligations on employees to uphold the values of the organisations they work for and abide by their contractual arrangements.
Folau posted from social media accounts that identify him as a Wallaby and an Rugby Australia employee. Their content and tone go against the code of conduct that he signed. No one is taking away his democratic rights to have his own opinions and to practise his religion as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, but as an employee there are consequences to communications that are totally at odds with the values and aims of his employers who remunerate him very well indeed.

Shocking picture of Israel Foolau cavorting and getting intimate with a gay supporting man who loves his corner damaged beard, rounded haircut, wicked ink, and the many fabric types he wears at once

GT became one of my favourite players the moment he took over the Lions captaincy from BOD in 05. Always admired his play.
Classy tweet that.

He also signed up to the inclusion policy, post of which I quoted above. That's been around since 2014. He's breaking his terms of service, bye bye
"“These comments are really disappointing and clearly don’t reflect the spirit of inclusion and diversity that we support,” a Qantas statement said. “We are pleased to see Rugby Australia’s condemnation of the comments and will await the outcome of their review.”
Chose a homophobe who can jump or Qantas $, Raelene

Excuse my French, but Qantas can go fuck themselves. They entered into a vital partnership with the airline of a country where homosexuality is illegal. The Qantas CEO would be arrested for kissing his boyfriend in public. What happened to their commitment to inclusion and diversity? Hypocritical tossers. Same goes for AR. They're so committed to inclusion and gay rights yet their poster boy is a guy who is on record as saying gay people will go to hell. And they pay him a million plus bucks a year. Ironically the only person being consistent in their position is Folau.

@Tim TBF, how many 'friends' posts on FB/INsta/Twitter do you like without reading...? That said, in this case it kinda stood out...
@taniwharugby True.
This is actually the only site I post on under my real name.

@MajorRage TBF, I dont think he left them with any other options.
@Tim haha I have a FB account in my name, but my wife uses it more than I do as she doesnt have a FB account.
@taniwharugby what! You mean we aren't flirting with you online?! We've been bloody catfished all this time!

Good stuff, I hope that Fafita gets a slap on the wrist too.
Seriously? Just mind your own fucking business.

When he posts it loud and proud on social media, it is everyone's business
He broke the Inclusion Policy of AR (2014) that he signed up to, just the same as everyone who signs up to specific behaviour for their job. He got a warning last time - apparently not this time
