        Folau is as entitled to his bigoted beliefs, just as Qantas is entitled to sponsor who they please.

        Josh, you are bigoted in that you belive that a CEO of a company can bully an individual for having different point of view.

        It's not bullying. It's a company choosing to sponsor who they wish. Just because you have a different opinion and then choose to whom they spend their sponsorship $$ on is their prerogative.

        Threaten sponsorship of cricket now RU. Who'd want QANTAS as sponsor? Falou's comment = re doctrine of his religion, which is widely known + widely disagreed with. To actually be offended requires a belief in the existence of hell, which I doubt A. Joyce holds. Ridiculous.

        Further homophobic statements? He hasn't made any yet. He was asked what his understanding of God's plan was - he answered the question. The only bigots are those calling for him to suffer for believing something they don't. This is why religious freedom needs protecting.

        Qantas, the new thought police and judge of moral righteousness. And all this time I thought they were an airline. You know, in control of moving people., only people, not peoples rights. #freespeachforall

        So @Qantas will stop flying to Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Dubai then? You know if you can demand Israel Folau curb his comments, you won't be having any Indonesians, Malaysians or Arabs on your planes.

        You don't think Falou's comments hurt anyone??? I'd say they at least raise an eyebrow!

        He knows full well how far his comments reach. He also has a right to keep potentially hurtful views to himself
