    Thrilled with that graph, I must say! We dinkum are getting there. And of course I get the odd attack from some in the conservative mob. It goes with the territory. I don't read them, and don't care. What counts is the rise in republican sentiment. Join us!

    . is right about support for the Republic . 48% support Australia becoming a republic, 30% oppose & 22% have no opinion. Support has grown steadily since took the lead 3 yrs ago. Those stats say a co-ordinated, measured campaign will succeed.

    Bingo. Completely agree with ⁦⁩ and I don’t give a stuff if we have less chance of success at RWC without Izzy. Until Israel Folau repents, Rugby Australia has no choice but to let him go

    “Beyond matters of money, sponsors, ticket-sales and all the rest, far more important is the impact of having homophobic dogma in the public domain.” Well said 👌🏻

    I would think three counts remarkably low for most people? Over the course of my life, I think I am five or six counts, but I did have to look up what "idolatory" means.

    So many levels of stupid in that tweet I can't keep count. But my life is too short to unpack it. Can someone else, gently, do the honours, please?

    Israel Folau doesn't hate homosexuals; he's just pointing out where they'll end up after their heart stops beating. Is an oncologist bigoted when he tells a patient the news that he has terminal cancer? Better crack down on them, too, gag them before they spread more hate.

    In the context was the use of the word repent coincidental? Brilliant if on purpose

    No. I think they will act before sundown.

    Oh Pete... I reckon you are both right and wrong in equal measure. He has to go, no question. But RA will surely dither and create some meaningless sanction, if that. This game - the only one I love - has just about lost me.

    Three days after Christchurch welcomed members and members of New Zealand’s first gay rugby team, including Minister of Sport and Finance , to NZ Rugby HQ. Nobody missed the links between results of hate of people’s differences

    Yet another wonderful welcome for the global LGBTI family, this time to the headquarters in Wellington! "Thank you for coming along tonight, to celebrate inclusion and diversity"

    Comment: Israel Folau has to go, and will go. Quick. Clean. Gone. At least until such times as he repents, writes

    The irony of the PM going to see the Queen's representative, the GG, while the UK PM is asking the EU what to do for their future is not lost on me one bit today. I'm suporting and - Republic Now!

    Tks Kate, but this'un is an easy one. Folau's stuff so outrageous, and so damaging on so many levels, it MUST be called out.

    Thank you for continually using your platform to speak against stuff like this. His words are unacceptable, and your counter to them is great.

    Yes, of course. But that GG won't be representing the Queen of England, he or she will be representing the Australian people. We, the Australian people, will be running our own show, and spared the humiliation of seeking leave from England.

    Replying to @Peter_Fitz @AusRepublic
    When we become a republic surely the PM will still go and see the GG so only difference is in the name

    The democratically elected leader of the Australian people, now on his way, to see the representative of the un-elected leader of the English aristocrats, for permission for the Australian people to get on with democracy.

    can't follow, for the life of me. WHat has Slipper and Coke got to do with all this?

    Replying to @Peter_Fitz
    Doesn't inclusive mean people of all stripes, backgrounds and opinions? So inclusive only if you agree with me? That's crap. I'm as atheist as they come but you constantly drive the bus hard here but turn a blind eye to James Slipper snorting coke?

    If you willfully embarrass your employer in a way that undermines their business model, your employer is well within their rights to show you the door. Simple stuff.
