Comment: The dual international's code of conduct hearing next weekend could be just the beginning of a legal showdown with the governing body | sportslawyer7
Let me preface everything which will follow by stating, without qualification, that I consider Israel Folau’s method of Instagram proselytising, concerning the impending fate of me and pretty much every one of you dear readers, to be beyond offensive, let alone dangerous.
I am not even certain that tribunal has the actual jurisdiction and power to terminate Folau’s RA contract. Further, what if anything is to be made of the statement at clause 6.3.3 of RA’s Member Protection Policy, that the governing body “prohibit[s] all forms of harassment and discrimination based on the personal characteristics listed” in clause 11 of the policy. Those characteristics which include “religion, religious beliefs or activities”?
And if he is so discriminated against, could he make a complaint himself, under RA’s member protection rules?
