'Unacceptable': Fresh posts put Folau on collision course with Rugby Australia | geerob
Rugby Australia branded as “unacceptable” social media posts by dual international Israel Folau on Wednesday.
A short time later on Instagram he listed “homosexuals” as one of eight groups of people for whom “Hell awaits”, following it with a Bible extract and the commentary: “Those that are living in Sin will end up in hell unless you repent. Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your son and come to him.”
The incident last year split opinion between supporters of Folau’s right to voice his beliefs and those who believed RA should have sanctioned him for comments deemed offensive and upsetting to large groups in the community. She told media at the time: “On the one hand you’re dealing with a human rights issue and on the other hand you’re dealing with a freedom of speech [issue]. There’s someone’s right to express their views, whether it be religious or otherwise, and I think the test is whether it’s done in a respectful way. So that’s the measure we’ll continue to apply.”
