Speaking out: Reds Taniela Tupou voiced his support for Israel Folou on Facebook."Seriously Might as well sack me and all the other Pacific Islands rugby players around the world because we have the same Christian beliefs," Tupou posted late on Tuesday night. "I will never apologise for my faith and what i believe in, religion had nothing to do with rugby anyways #TYJ."
It has simply said, specifically in the case of Folau, effectively" "We believe that you have breached the clear terms of your contract. We went through agony last year on this very issue, but despite that, we went out on a limb and committed one million dollars a year to you for the next four years.
I want you to contemplate a gaggle of gay teenagers in the public square, troubled by their sexuality. There’s a lot of them, and the suicide rates among them are five or six times the average for heterosexual teenagers.And they shouldn't be troubled at all. What the world knows now, that it didn't when most religions took hold, is that just as some kids are born with blond hair and some with red hair, there are some kids who are born straight and some who are born gay.
Peter_Fitz these religious nuts can have their opinions - but not their facts
Peter_Fitz It’s interesting to me that your article draws controversy...is human compassion in short supply down under? I loved what you wrote
Peter_Fitz Ask Rupert. Finger him. Get a pay rise. Finger his grandchildren. Get a pay rise. Listen in on murderered children. Get a pay rise. Finger janet albrechtsen. Jesus status.
Peter_Fitz An employment contract can't breach statutory laws. Employers can't contract out of laws that prevent discrimination against religion. The ARU may have also coerced Folau to vary his contract or unilaterally vary his contract, all of which will cause them trouble.
Peter_Fitz Just ask the man about fa’afafine and the role they play in Samoan society ..... so guess they won’t be losing any Samoan players.
Peter_Fitz Jesus would give every opportunity for all sinners equally to repent. Not only would he, he does. Israel Folau made this perfectly clear but those in the world who wish to stay in their sin hate what the bible teaches so attack the next best target. Christians
Peter_Fitz Who?
Peter_Fitz Clear thinking is evidently not one of Mr. FitzSimons strong points. Worryingly, he does not have much grasp of history nor the basic beliefs of Christianity either.
Peter_Fitz The writer’s religious education, by his own admission, was limited to Sunday school as a child. But he now assumes he can speak for Jesus. He should stick to matters he has a proper understanding of, but then I guess he’d have nothing to write
Peter_Fitz Jesus would say one more comment and enjoy the fruits of Centrelink
Peter_Fitz Well said Fitzy!!!
Peter_Fitz One may as well ask, ‘What would Mary Poppins do?’ Same end result!
Peter_Fitz Jesus wouldn’t be condemning people to Hell.
Peter_Fitz WWJD? “pass the ball to Israel”
Peter_Fitz
Peter_Fitz Comma before “and” Jesus would say “lord help me”. Where are your editors? bencubby
Peter_Fitz they have a coach for everything i guess a religious coach will be next for them
Peter_Fitz one of the many under currents to poor performance of this once proud institution.pity the passion for their invisible friend and determination they have to tell others how to live isnt displayed on the paddock.over rated over paid over indulged pfffff
Peter_Fitz He would say: love they neighbor
Peter_Fitz Except that the mob, the media, the politicians, are all pointing at one man. Thank you Captain America.
Peter_Fitz lol. A clueless Peter Fitsickman article. The moron should be sacked based on biased ignorance alone.
Peter_Fitz Come off it Peter... you... thinking.... PLEASE (eye roll) LOL
Peter_Fitz Of course if the players in question were Muslim and had exactly the same stance, Pirate Boy wouldn't go near this kind of questioning.
Peter_Fitz Notice how no one is daring speak to Islamic leaders.
Peter_Fitz Nothing, he didn't exist. Please grow up.
Peter_Fitz Which one Pete? There's possibly as many Jesus in Latin & Central America as there are Mohammeds in the Middle East. smh Peter_Fitz auspol
Peter_Fitz In his bible Tupou will find that Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. Not once. Could it be that Folau, Tupou and others are more intent on freely expressing their own indoctrinated prejudices than what their bible actually states?
Peter_Fitz Not much over Easter, just hang around the Cross with a couple of mates 😁😁
Peter_Fitz purely a result of island cultures brainwashed by colonial missionaries
Peter_Fitz Oh dear - man with red hanky on head projects his Sunday School memory of Jesus
Peter_Fitz Old Testament god gets lots of play when ppl decide they need a point of reference for their bigotry. New Testament doesn’t really cover it so much. If god is so against homosexuality then why did she allow it as an option seen right across the animal (human included) kingdom?
Peter_Fitz The guy’s a moron, Fitzy- and his ilk have made the Wallabies the laughing stock of world rugby- let them take their skills (or lack thereof) elsewhere!
Peter_Fitz Jesus would say go and sin no more. The simple fact is the fornicaters and drunks don’t seem very worried by the comments .
Peter_Fitz Wrong person Showbag, this guy plays front row.

Tupou supports Folau saying all Pacific Islanders 'might as well just be sacked'Just days out from Israel Folau’s Rugby Australia code of conduct hearing, his teammate Taniela Tupou has hit out over what he feels is the targeting of Pacific Islanders over their religious beliefs. Absolutely true. Seems like the left-wing love immigrants provided they assimilate to Western progressive values and lose their culture. How is it so difficult for these guys to understand the law? If they can’t accept the anti-discrimination laws, then don’t play for Australia. Too easy. Amene! God bless all Pacific Island players who stand up for their faith and not let any Rugby code dictate your beliefs. 😊

Wallabies face player divide over religious beliefsRugby Australia faces a significant player divide as Taniela Tupou leaps to the defence of Reds captain Samu Kerevi's right to express his religious beliefs, while the Israel Folau case draws to its conclusion. Tightened player contracts could alleviate that problem. How much tax dollars are being wasted on this sport? Seems NRL doesn't pay any tax, nor does it pay for any of its infrastructure. Who cares what the religious beliefs, or any other beliefs for that matter, of athletes & rugby players are? And why do these ppl feel a need to express their beliefs anyway... did someone ask them to?

Passengers asked for help as captain incapacitated on flight from AustraliaAt an altitude of 38,000 feet, and with an hour and 15 minutes to go before arrival at Hong Kong, the captain announced he was not well. Given the difficulty of the approach to old Kai Tak Hong Kong airport I'd land somewhere else, if they still used that!! I understand new one is far better!! Looks like PE, or pulmonary embolism hmm

'We haven't done this before': Pro-coal activists hit the streets to spruik miningThe modest town of Mackay didn't really do demonstrations - until Saturday, when hundreds turned out in support of coal. Looks like about three people there. Nope, four or five. Perhaps a dozen. Bout time Adani has to be stoped, with Adani reputation, Great Barrier Reef is not safe, Liberals should never sign approval to Adani. Adani is going to destroy our golden treasure. Liberals don’t care as longest millions of dollars is paid to Liberals coffers from corrupt Adani. Stop Adan

We are already ‘doing our share’ of refugee resettlement: Tudge | Sky News AustraliaCities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Minister Alan Tudge maintains the government is capping the refugee intake in order to ease congestion in major cities, despite refugees making up just 2 per cent of overseas arrivals last year.\n\nMeanwhile, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows foreign students made up 30 per cent of arrivals.\n\nMr Tudge has all but ruled out capping international student migration, saying overseas students are ‘a massive part of our economy’, injecting $32 billion into Australia’s economy each year.\n\nThe Liberal frontbencher notes the Coalition increased the refugee intake while in government, but freezing it at current levels means Australia remains the third ‘most generous’ country in the world when it comes to refugee resettlement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n David_Speers AlanTudgeMP David_Speers you have ask AlanTudgeMP three time about Palmer, shame on you, what is the purpose to the question, are you trying to give the labor party more credit to win the coming election, are you lefty David, if Shorten win the election he will destroy all of us David_Speers AlanTudgeMP Why federal government is withholding 3 billions from Victoria because east west link was not build.
