So now people are going to flood to stay away from Rugby because Israel Folau said that sinners would burn in hell?


No, the sponsors are the ones they are worried about.

QANTAS is their main backer I believe, and they were said to be putting pressure on RA.



Joyce denies that.

And it's not "Qantas" ... it's Joyce.

Why should he be able to hide behind the company logo & assert influence on RA to deal with Folau?

Afterall Joyce is just an employee of the company.


No, dear, Joyce is appointed by the board.

And I believe this decision was discussed by the board.

But that's irrelevant. The team is the team. Why should sponsorship have anything to do with who they select to play? This was RA's decision.

Without Folou, apparently their best player ever, they should expect to lose sponsorship too. After all, Folou, as every schoolboy knows, is the reason they win.

A devil's choice, innit?


Better I take Zud Afrique in the Rugby championship first match then?

He was fired for breaching his code of conduct FD.

Do you need me to repeat it for you again?


Let me try to dumb it down for you. Was Folau fired for expressing his religious views?

Why do the homofascists act like this? A simple yes or no will suffice John, if you are not too scared of being honest for once. Was Folau fired for expressing his religious views?


Is that why you never answer questions FD? you're a chicken sh1t homo fascist?  Grin Grin Grin

I've answered your question, multiple times. If you don't like the answer that's your problem. Not mine.

And the fact that Joyce threatened to pull QANTAS sponsorship.


that's been my argument all along homo.

I've asked you the question several times, but each time you ran away without answering. We'll try again. If you has a business, and an employee of yours posted something on social media that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, would you take action against him?

Which is subtly, but crucially different to firing for a) expressing those views and b) the medium in which they are expressed. If Folau's boss had asked him about what he thought about gays and Folau answered that he believed they were going to hell - then that is obviously very different to an unprompted broadcasting of that view on a platform viewed by millions.

You talk about a slippery slope, well how more slippery can you get when you make the broadcasting of any kind of hate speech - up to and including incitement of violence - a completely protected activity under the law - so long as it is done under the cover of "religious beliefs"?

So I think you are wrong - I don't believe the broadcasting of any sort of speech under the cover of "religious beliefs" has to be completely off limits to employers in their conditions of employment. The law will understand the nuance between holding a religious belief on the one hand, and how they go about broadcasting those beliefs on the other. Obviously no one would argue if a muslim was sacked by RA for posting "it is my sincere Islamic belief that all jews should be rounded up and gassed forthwith" to his millions of followers - nor would there be any argument when he is arrested for the same thing.




FD's not defending religious speech, G, he's defending hate speech.

Remember, when Yassmin Tweeted something as harmless as lest we forget refugees, FD defended the rape and death threats that followed - to the letter.

For FD, a tinted Muslim woman comparing the plight of refuges to Australians killed in foreign wars deserved everything she got, whether she was expressing her religious views or not.

Likewise, FD's not defending Folou's right to spruik the message of his prophet, he's defending Folou's right to slag off the hommers.

FD hasn't defended religious freedom since "he changed his mind" in 2007. FD is now of the opinion that those who follow the religion of Islam should be banned. FD wants them asked cunning questions on their visa applications - questions designed to trip them up, agree that they support genocide, want to kill gays who do it Mardi Gras-style and tough-titties, off with their treacherous heads.

In fact, why ask them at all? They have to believe this, they're Muslims. They don't share the same values as Whitey. The purpose of the visa questions is to get them to admit that they can't live among civilised people so you can knock them back, but still maintain you believe in freedom.

FD's always been rather quiet about what to do with the ones like you; citizens who convert. He hopes you'll sneak off to fight in some foreign war so you can be banned when you try to return.

As for all other Muslim religious practices: praying, reading the Quran, visiting Mecca, giving alms to the poor, etc, FD's got that covered too. FD, you see, has redefined Islam as a terrorist political movement. Therefore, all Islamic religious expression can be banned.

You make a mistake when you assume FD shares liberal views on religious or cultural expression, G. He doesn't. Whenever you can get a straight answer out of him, he expresses views that are the very antithesis of liberalism.

FD is not defending religious expression here, he's defending the expression of hate. FD wants the freedom to bludgeon people he doesn't like, and his criteria for them is anyone who challenges the Anglo-Saxon global hegemon led by Uncle, Mother and their agents - the Saudis and Israelis in the Middle East, for example, or their puppet regimes in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

For FD, the preservation of this order is so fundamental it goes without saying. Why would you even question it? FD was happy to uphold freedom of expression and pluralism and civility until someone came along who actually challenged his world view, someone so diabolical the very sight of his name made the blood rush to FD's head.

Do you know who that ex-member is, G?



It's only hate speech for the terminally offended SJW's and the hommers..... no?

Or for disagreeing with yours?

That would be splendid.

You cannot fire someone for their religious belief unless they make those beliefs known the others. The law would be meaningless if interpreted your way.

No.


Well that's a surprise. I was expecting you to go with the meaningless obfuscation options rather than the blatant lie option. And it only took you a few pages to give a straight answer.

Is your reasoning that the technical appeal to the contract clause means he was not expressing his religious views?

Here's what you are missing Effendi.

Employer:  Are you a Muslim?

Potential Employee:  Yes.

Employer:  No worries, I'll employ you.  Start Monday at $M4 over four years.  But.....Because of the high profile your employment by me gives you and an obvious connection with me because of that, you are required NOT to spruik your Mulsim views on social Media.  Do you agree?

Potential Employee:  Yes.

nope, other than you pretending to interpret the law, that doesn't shed any more light on the subject.

You claimed he can't be fined for his religious beliefs unless he makes them known to others. If not the employer, then who are the 'others' you are talking about?

You are being obtuse - again.

I did not say its a simple case that you can be fired for letting those beliefs be known to others. I even gave a specific example where you shouldn't - if his boss had asked for his opinion. However it is simply absurd to say that any old hate speech should be off limits - so long its under the cover of "religious freedom" - regardless of the medium and the circumstances in which its said. We know that won't fly under the law (try shouting in the middle of a busy street that its your sincere religious belief that all jews should be gassed) - so it obviously shouldn't be a protected condition of employment.

It was not demanded.  It was a condition the potential employee could reject or accept with eyes wide open.
