:"Drunks, Homosexuals, Adulterers, Liars, Fornicators, Thieves, Atheists, Idolators: Hell Awaits You. Repent! Only Jesus Saves."The joint statement said Folau did not"intend to harm or offend" anyone with the post.
"We now look forward to the federal government enacting the legislation necessary to further protect and strengthen these rights for all Australians.""Inclusiveness is one of Rugby's core values and it welcomes all people to the game, including all members of the LGBTI community," the joint statement said.
Folau is a hardline Christian who belongs to the Truth of Jesus Christ Church in Sydney, after leaving his previous mainstream churches.The former rugby league and AFL player recently attracted criticism after he said recent deadly bushfires were God's judgement for same-sex marriage and abortion laws.
"The Religious Discrimination Bill proposed by the Commonwealth government privileges the rights of some over others by overriding existing discrimination protections," she said.

Just worry about yourself Israel and don’t speak for everybody else it’s not your place your views are certainly not mine
Go away already izzy!!
Can he just shut the hell up and go away 🙄🙄🙄
Folau would beg for gay rights if he ever faced me in league. Literally on the ground licking the grass wimpering 'tim please dont run the scrum'. Pathetic
fayff 🙏🏼
Great Israil. We bow to your protecting us Christians from those LGBTI types who would mock us.
Vindication ? No it was f**k off and go away money! Better than the story polluting society any longer that needed. No more oxygen to this PLEASE Media!!!
We have religious freedom. I would like to have freedom from religion and it's often biased diatribe.
Crap. Its rewarding disgusting behaviours.
Someone please do the right thing with this parasite.
I'm glad Folau was vindicated. No-one should lose their job because of their religious views unless they're actively threating people. I look forward to this being enshrined in laws which guarantee our religious freedom.
can this flog just go away. his ideas are dangerous and belong in the 15th century RugbyAustralia israelfolau
Religious beliefs should never be tolerated as an excuse to discriminate and hate. Christian Fascist IzzyFolau is losing his sanity and grip on reality, foolishly and ridiculously praying to the sky deity to make 'bad things' go away, pathetic.
Folau thinks it's about Christians, it's not about Christians it never was. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. Luke 15:2 KJV
I’ll move to Canada if that happens
Religious freedom laws is just another globalist initiative to make islam the dominant religion in Western nations don't be fooled Don't worry we've got this...
Time for him to be deported
They should take religious connotations out of any legislation. Call freedom to be irrational or freedom to believe in fairy tales.
and considering what a dogs breakfast the religious freedoms legislation is you can see it actually happening at all?
already this is starting to blow up in izzys face, he really should quit while he's ahead
So if someone commits a crime and then repents, he will go to heaven? Great because i murdered someone and now im sorry. Heaven here i come!
I wonder if he’ll apologise to the bushfire victims he said were being punished by his god? ProbsNot
He can put whatever slant he wants on it. Same applies to RA. Case closed, no one won, no one lost, each pay for their own costs (presuming) & details confidential. End of.
You already have it. What we aren't doing is setting up a freedom to discriminate, which is what they all mean by this.
I’m concerned for Christ to be banished in favour of a prophet however...a prophet whose believers remain in the 7thC 🐽
I despair
Good on IzzyFolau! What a legend!! Bring on laws protecting what had always been cherished in our great nation -religious liberty!!
Folau should think himself lucky he’s got this far.
Vindication for freedom of speech....whatever he said.
Go buy a one-way ticket to Jerusalem.
So has our “religious freedom” to legally discriminate against whoever we like now been fully restored? Asking for several million friends who got tired of this phony argument from day one ...
Need to rein in religious freedom. Religion should be a personal and private matter. Cause of most conflicts and wars! IzzyFolau 9NewsAUS australian
Damn Maria happy to be a millionaire hahaha
I just want to see how quickly these new laws are reversed when sharia is preached.
Yep, you don't like his view don't listen.... Victory for freedom of speech!!!
Folau and those like him want the freedom to, in the name of their god, say anything, do as they think fit and deny or restrict the actions of others who don't believe. A simple glance at the opressive actions of religions over the centuries shows this is a retrograde step!
We all know what Folau and Court are and what they do Both used their fame to vilify Australian citizens using religion as a backdrop. Its how history will be recorded
Israel should quietly go home and Israel’s entourage should cease exploiting his naïvet and getting him to make announcements.
That’s it, it’s over. Stop reporting his moronic utterings now.
Scotnofriends will oblige
He didn't do anything thing wrong!!! And got payed, That tells you who was in the wrong!
It's not religious freedom it's about religious privilege.
Dear God please save us from religious people. heartfulness
I thought feminism started bush fires
He believes all kinds of nonsense
If the bible says 'judge not lest ye be judged', what afterlife destination would it recommend for Israel Folau?
Can he just shut up and go really far away!
People should now see the power of the secret religious organisations that can wield power so great they can design a settlement outcome that can raze a false Idle.
I might want the freedom to discriminate, to denigrate, to demean, and to mock morons like this ex footballer but I do not want to be on the receiving end of crazy nastiness and nor should anyone else. Keep your religious ideas to yourself and certainly don’t force them on others
Good lord he just can’t shut up and we keep giving him airspace. It was a confidential settlement. Let’s move on and let him fade out
Naw RA didn’t want to be exposed as the first to jump from this cliff edge into the abyss of Political Correctness. Tik Tok there will be an example made very soon from these sort of delusional Ivory Corporate Tower viewing random free speech as a crime against ones own senses.
Feck off!
Reckon it's time for freedom from religion laws, i.e. religion not equalling freedom from consequences and acting as a 'get out of jail free' card for acting like an asshole. We can remove tax exemptions at the same time. Let's see how long these prosperity gospel fools last then
I wish these irrelevant sports people would just go away.
Yeah? Nah...
What an arsehole. People can already say what they want, so long as it's respectful and not defamatory.
IzzyFolau's Anchestor wouldn't agree
Two face: what he said on video isn't what he wrote and co-signed with Rugby Australia
He’s a liar
He is just a player don't treat him like a hero by covering each and every f*RT of him.
It does not. Folau you are wrong.
We already have religious freedom laws The pointhe is missing is he was an employee (football player) in a corporation (the NRL) and when he signed up for that he was under their rules If they wanted to sack him for his comments bringing the game into disrepute they can
Well done Izzy
Give'm an inch, he'll try for a foot.
This is a very bad outcome for all concerned but most of all for Rugby Australia, the Folau's and every single Australian.
What a sore winner.
How many times do we have to beg the media to fucking stop giving this dumbarse coverage
Fantastic news Good luck Izzy
Well Folau has the LiarFromTheShire on his side with this one
Can the news shut up about him? There are more than one pile of shits I this world.
We soooooo need a god of tits and wine.
Why is our Press giving this Wanker the Time of Day
Headsmack. He is indoctrinated evil.
Hmm, sorry. Homophobia, racism and sexism should not be given expression because some fundamentalist from any faith links their biased views to an ancient text. israelfolau LGBT
IzzyFolau fuuuuuuuuuuuck ooooooooooooooooff
Israel Falou can bugger off.
Can we just stop with this now? It’s over. Stop promoting this person
It's still fascinating that people who don't believe in his book of faith take offence. Move on. Rugby Australia has a lot to be held accountable for all this. Castle must resign !
Great news and a good outcome for religious freedom in Australia!
Spiritually no religion or faith has the right to force their beliefs onto someone else. There is a reason the Bible stresses people are born with 'free will'.
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Need apology from QANTAS as AR sponsor now.
Who gives a fuck There are far more important things happening in Australia right now.
Would have loved to see RA smashed in court.
Your rights and freedoms stop where others rights and freedoms begin.
They should have a full hour show with Folau and Mundine debating about their religious beliefs. It would make a great comedy show.
He violated his own employment contract, which he voluntarily signed in the first place. He's free to voice his religious views. Where's the conflict?
It's not a 'vindication', it was a straight forward settlement in which both sides apologised. Folau apologised for his post. Very simple. If he thinks that's a 'vindication', then he has comprehension problems.
A lot of Christophobia in this country
Time to start taxing churches
Will he ever play rugby in Australia again, then tell me who won?
Folau looks happy. Must've made a lot of money.
Dear God, someone please stop these people who think they know best for us....
SIGH...
No more legislation needed. Freedom to peddle delusional religious rubbish should be curtailed.
This is what it’s all about
And nobody can guess your opinion, can they? Don't forget where your money comes from.
