The other thing I wonder about, doesn't the bible say it hard for a rich man to enter heaven? So perhaps he will give away his money?
Thankfully the church invented the solution of giving money to the church. Works a treat.

and use his wife's account for these posts in the future
Imposing a fine on Folau will not win back the trust.Suspending him will not win back the trust.Either of those scenarios would only lead to rugby authorities nervously sitting back bracing for Folau to fire up his thumbs again.And all the while, sporting patrons and the wider public will shake their heads at the lack of action, the failure to stand up to society’s standards, and walk away from rugby.No. It’s time for rugby to walk away from Folau.
Rugby Australia simply has no choice. They cannot go through one more time the agony of last year when Folau’s social media comments trumpeting that gays would go to hell, saw rugby lose sponsors, fans, and support.
Is it implied that his wife is large influence for a lot of his extremism?
extremism? I think we have a different understanding of what extremism is
Man I reckon he's a fucking simpleton who posts bad happy clapper memes without reasoning through the consequences.

Folau should be fined but it is disgraceful and outrageous that QANTAS threatens to pull sponsorship over this
People will say yeah its their right to do so and fair enough it is, but it doesn't make it right
Qantas should also be careful what it wishes for
Companies that have engaged in social activism in the United States have met grissly ends
If I was the Federal Government and QANTAS pulled sponsorship, I'd immediately respond by opening up the trans-atlantic route to whichever airline wanted to do it.
I'd also immediately open the possibility of de-monopolising all air routes in Australia
Worth noting analogous situations like this have happened - in Georgia USA lawmakers torpedoed a 40 million dollar tax break for an airline after a situation
Our National Football team deserves better than to be held hostage by QANTAS because of extemporaneous comments made by a player. Leave the discipline to us, Alan Joyce
Companies should have an obligation to their shareholders and no more
Corporate activism can die in a hole

You don't think that is part of their obligation to their shareholders?
See there is something that I completely agree with. Hence, I think you are over-reaching.
Didn't you just say you'd never fly with them again if they stopped supporting the Wallabies? (because of a social position).I just cannot agree that supporting same sex marriage made people choose Qantas as an airline
I've never ever seen any friend that's gone on an overseas holiday ever choose an airline based off their social positions
In fact many of them fly with state owned airlines from countries that have abhorrent human rights records
The market evidence including focus groups suggest people fly with airlines almost entirely on price followed by service
It's worth noting if QANTAS really believes in all of this stuff as it alleges, why does it have such an astonishingly comprehensive partnership with Emirates, which is the state owned airline from a corrupt autocratic regime that is completely anti-democratic, where homosexuality is illegal and where women are treated as second class citizens.
The simple answer is QANTAS' position is morally and intellectually bankrupt
