Well done, Rod! I oppose what he says, too - very strongly, in fact. But I don't think employers should be able to fire employees over this sort of thing ... and I apply this consistently to people I agree with and to people whose views I oppose.

Normally I’d agree, but wasn’t it part of his contract that he not say these things publicly? He didn’t have to sign that contract, but he did, and took the money - then went ahead and breached it.
-
100% this. I'm on the fence about companies firing employees for hate speech, I think in some situations it's warranted but not always, but in this case he absolutely was under contract to not do exactly what he did, but he did it anyway. Totally justified.
-
Yep. He obviously thought they’d bend the rules for him. I’m actually really glad they didn’t - it would set a very dangerous precedent.

I don't agree we have the right to say things that intentionally harm others. I think we need this and to include LGBTIQA+:pic.twitter.com/teuv61YVMo

Israel folau purely quoted scripture... apparently the bible is wrong now. Youre preaching heresy and will answer to God one day.
-
Im not questioning folau's motives im purely stating that rod bower is stating that he opposes folaus comments when folaus comments were strictly bible verses... so rod bower is opposing the bible.
-
He is oppose folau interpretation of the bible and btw when do Christian in 21st century Australia follow the bible to the letter?
-
REAL Christians do. Enter any Baptist, Anglican or Presyi church. you may be surprised

so no-one has eaten pork (Leviticus 11:4)? no-one is wearing ripped jeans (Leviticus 10:6) and no woman has short hair (Leviticus 19:27)? no-one is wearing a cotton shirt and denim pants (Leviticus 19:19) and there are no cleanly shaven men (Leviticus 19:27 again)?
-
i could go on. the point is that the bible declares that a lot of stupid things are sinful, and cherry-picking from that list what you believe is and isn't sinful is hypocritical and makes you look like a terrible person.
-
by the way, we can't forget about Leviticus 19:28, which instantly makes israel a sinner :)
-
Didn’t know that one :)

It’s hate speech

Yup. Made worse by statements like “ speaking the truth in love. “ How stupid do they think we are?
-
Absolutely revolting isn’t it?
