The draft bill they’ve put out would have made it easier, not harder, for Rugby Australia to sack Folau. Remember the timeline. Folau had shit to say about various groups including gay people and Catholics at the pulpit in his church and this was circulated on video on social meda. Rugby Australia did nothing, presumably because there’s an existing reasonable interpretation of the constitution which protected Folau’s religious activities.

Rugby Australia only took action when Folau got onto Instagram, outside of the official church grounds.

Under the Lib’s existing bill, Rugby Australia could have sacked Folau when the social media videos went up on the basis it was costing them revenue (easily demonstrated).

The churches hate the Libs’ bill. The Folau supporters won’t be fans either.

But who cares what they think, it just turns out that sensibly minded progressive individuals also hate the Libs’ bill, for entirely different but nevertheless excellent reasons.

Just quit it, Libs. Withdraw the bill, it’s helping nobody.
