You are just a naughty boy Shasta!
Damn Shasta - I can't believe that you made Israel Folau make all those comments then make all those news services write about it.
Exactly how influential are you??
Not very. Gerry reckons I'm just a naughty boy. :)
Rugby Australia bungled its contract negotiations with Israel Folau by failing to insert social media restraints, according to a report.
The Daily Telegraph says Folau, who inked a $4 million four-year deal last year, refused to have the additional clauses retrospectively inserted into the contract.
If this is so, it will place added pressure on RA CEO Raelene Castle, whose tenure has turned into a giant headache because of Folau’s inflammatory social media posts.
Today looms as D-Day for the much-maligned Wallabies star - he has until this afternoon to lodge notice that he will fight the termination of his RA contract.
RA believe they are still on safe ground, because they will argue the Wallaby star breached the standard player code of conduct by vilifying others because of their sexuality.
The Telegraph labelled the contract situation as a “bungle” which could leave RA facing action under workplace anti-discrimination requirements.
Folau’s latest social media outburst quoted Bible scripture saying hell awaited people such as gays and atheists.
Folau’s defence will be based around him being punished for expressing his religion’s beliefs. The report says the lack of social media clauses are central to his defence.
But he would appear to still be facing a major battle.
The NSW Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (Section 49ZT) states: “It is unlawful for a person, by a public act, to incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of, a person or group of persons on the ground of the homosexuality of the person or members of the group”.
A spokeswoman for The Workplace Employment Lawyers said RA can argue that Folau breached his contract by going against legally correct direction RA gave him.
“‘Free speech’ in the workplace is qualified by employee’s obligations under their contract. In this case, it appears that Folau was told about RA’s policies and its expectations in relation to his conduct,” she said.
“Given the history, and as Folau is a public figure, RA is likely to have grounds for taking disciplinary action which may include termination of his contract.”
She added: “The NSW Anti-Discrimination Act protects against a ‘public act’ which amounts to vilification.
“We are not aware of any case law considering vilification in the context of argued religious expression in the workplace.
“However, recent cases show that vilification via social media is being considered by the courts.”

Great piece from Hack on JJJ

My take . If Folau wins the code hearing he’ll walk away from Union with as much as possible out of RA . If he loses he’ll just walk away . Those idiots in the dung tower have learnt squat..... Cooper now Folau .....don’t sign long term contracts.... it should be simple . What a bunch of twits .
Cooper phoned it in for Toulon. Cheika banged on bringing him back from overseas. Leroy Houston and Kane Douglas sold the same pup now Nic White is falling for it. People will say that Beale and Cooper didn’t exercise their second year options so there was no payout. That’s fine but they didn’t come back to Australia on significantly less money.
Genia on Foxsports giving his opinion on trust, and ‘breaking your word” -cheesh!
Hooper and Genia are talking shite.
Hooper stood up for that sexist fifty chances 40k fine plus undisclosed court pay out to Patston flog Beale (and who sent that second text hasn’t been named yet) and didn’t support McKenzie who eventually left. McKenzie still has achieved more in the game than Beale has ever had.
Enough has been said on here about Genia sticking to his word and the Bath/Stade Francais contractual mess is worse than waking up in the morning and deciding to bail out on the Force. Genia actually played for Bath.
Beale is still an underachieving flog. Hooper has won sweet fa as a Wallaby and is one of our worst ever captains results wise.
The RA the parasitical halfwits have reaped what they have sown. Now paying the price for backing the wrong horses. Folau is a dope for what he did but I back him 100% as it may bring down the RA. The game needs to be dug up and started from scratch again.
