        Yeah... telling kids they will go to Hell is strong character. He'd make a great Liberal Party candidate.

        When did he tell kids that? Only role models kids need are their bloody parents.

        He said gay people are going to Hell. I know we don't like to talk about such things much, but some people do know from a young age who they are attracted to. It's not easy being a 11, 12 or 13 year old, let alone one who feels same-sex attraction.

        And? Whatever he said how does it affect you? That's what the no voters were told. It's just an opinion

        It doesn't affect me now. It does affect some of those who follow him on social media like Instagram. I can promise you that.

        Well, what percentage of the population has feelings of same-sex attraction at some point in their life? It would be roughly the same percentage of his followers.

        Religion doesn't recognise bigotry, it practises it.

        This is not freedom of speech. Folau is engaging in hate speech. Scott Morrison is supporting hate speech.

        Good to see a politician supporting the basic human rights of an individual, not being intimidated by a powerful minority group. It would be great if he is joined by more of our community leaders. @ScottMorrisonMP @TurnbullMalcolm @billshortenmp @politicsabc @abcnews @theage @smh

        The custodians of his sky fairy religion has been raping children since before records began. He can keep his God, there are apparently 3000 other real ones worshipped all over this world. Maybe one of those is real!! Get a life.
