What are we to make of the Israel Folau and Rugby Australia settlement?
It appears that they have kissed and made up – sort of. As most folks would have heard by now, the long-running stand-off between star rugby player Israel Folau and Rugby Australia has seemingly come to an end – with a confidential settlement just being reached.

Fired for using the wrong pronoun
Two cases have been highlight overseas recently where a Christian employee has been fired for declining to use the “preferred pronoun” of a person who identifies as a different gender to their biological sex.

In this post I want to point out that it seems quite arguable that the law in most of Australia does not have this effect.
Is it time to ban the Bible?
The head of Rugby Australia considers the Bible – or parts of it at least – to be so problematic that it cannot be quoted from, even by an employee on his own time. That is now a sackable offence. You can permanently lose your entire career for daring to cite the Word of God.
Folau, the Left and double standards
Go Fund Me have pulled the campaign to raise money for Israel Folau's legal defence - all in name of tolerance.
Did Qantas fire Israel Folau?
Did Qantas fire Israel Folau? Are SJW corporations running the nation’s public policy now? What can we do to make them stick to their knitting? Dr Jeremy Sammut has written a book answering just that question.
