Folau - Higgins/Lehrmann P193

I have no problem the ATO investigating the Churches books. I'm just surprised someone (from the ATO I presume) would be saying as much. 

This new set of guidelines should be good ;

Pray quietly in the corner and dont post abuse online that brings grief to your employer and your employers sponsors.....pretty simple.

Since when was praying the same as "expressing your religious views" PT ?

Your not serious are you PT. How is he any worse than the stuff we all say on here on a daily basis to upset each other ? The only difference is that he says it with good intentions (as he perceives it) & bases it on biblical text- unlike most of us who talk out of our clacker & hope to maim. In both cases - if those that are offended are silly enough to log onto TBV OR his private social media sites then they cant complain achieving that outcome. Precious to the extreme. Society needs to lighten up a take a giant step from the left to the middle on stuff like this.

Thankyou djebel

Again PT you somehow see it reasonable to equate religious expression to rape. He is bypassing the second hearing - he cannot win that on the terms of reference they are applying (breach of code of conduct). He will instead be going to a much higher court (hopefully) & go back a few steps to argue that a work contract should not restrict his religious expression in the first place.

Ok - however he will be arguing constitutional protection from religious expression restriction. Not sure sexual violence could claim the same.

The crime is irrelevant. It could be sexual assault, or aggravated robbery, racial or sexual vilification or car theft. You get your contract ripped up regardless of what it is

The best defense is to do what your mother told you. If you have nothing nice to say dont say anything.

I just love the way how some people set themselves up as the arbiter of all comment. Then move to hippyville away from "normal" people. Got it

Simple answer Whale - don't come back to the computer.Or if you cant do that - just don't click on the Folau thread - you wont get upset then . I'd give the some advice to others as well - if you think Izzy's social media posts might offend don't visit. Easy as 1,2,3.

Question - for what reason would a Gay person visit Izzys social media pages ? Seriously, would they not know he was high risk to offend based on his history ?Have you seen the stuff he has been posting for years ? Are they masochists or something - or maybe just want to make an issue out of it for the sake of it ?
