Time for a good news bad news Bad news: In my opinion the Wallabies have beaten the full strength NZ team twice in about 10 years, 2015 and 2011. Good news; it was both world cup years Great news: I'm still tipping a win for the true believers

I no longer live in QLD but I played in lower grade levels and then reffed B/C/D games for 6 years Some observations - Around 50% of games below A level have uncontested scrums - the lack of scrums would result in props being subbed off and replaced with mobile backrowers don't blame the...

I'd say buy a subscription and keep it to support good local journalism! Loving the yarns

Great job on the GPS coverage to GAGR @TheKing and everyone else who works to show the public these games. They actually rate quite well - believe it or not I'm realiably informed Courier Mail deliberately paywalls GPS articles because people will pay to view them such is their popularity. The...

I wonder what RugbyAu thinks about Senators from the incumbent government of this country telling them it helped win re-election Great for their branding, no doubt!

I think they will certainly tighten it up, at least so you can't dismiss someone for just 'bringing the game into disrepute' or 'breaching social media guidelines', I'd anticipate them making it clear that a religious post on social media is something done within the employees own private...

Sorry, that was a typo, I've now corrected it

I read a comment saying the thread has divulged to extremes, fair enough the thread was always going to get a bit emotional I think most people here are reasonable and that there are some key points > Folau seems to believe what he's posting > Folau is intransigent/unreasonable about...

Yeah, he sued for Collusion because he was uncontracted, my mistake, he wasn't actually fired I'm not a lawyer so it's hard to know how the case would have gone if it went to trial I think the point stands that it is easier to fire people in the USA for a variety of reasons -- including...

If anything America's workplace laws give employers the freedom to associate with anyone including termination We saw this with the Caepernick move, which likely would have seen a lawsuit here and rightfully so I'd fully support Colin Caepernick's right to protest and his right to a lawsuit...

Yasmine Abdel-Magied wasn't discriminated against in her employment as a result of these comments In fact, she had been on the taxpayer teet for years despite a huge amount of people finding her views disgusting and abhorrent By the time of these posts she was no longer working at the ABC...

Folau's intransigence is a bit ridiculous, I think he's pretty unreasonable at times here At the same time, i find Alan Joyce's comments abhorrent “They have to manage it . . . and shame on you if it happens a second time. That’s the way we approach it in the aviation industry, and we expect...

Fun to facetiously joke about freedom of speech on a forum but I’m sure you wouldn’t be cackling if you were in a re-education camp in Red China, or evading Putin’s gangsters in Russia, or flat out starving in North Korea aye Bedrock for a reason and pretty important, despite a lot of people...

Folau saga being talked about in the debate on ABC

Don't know why people are obsessed with shutting this debate down I've thoroughly enjoyed it and think a lot of people are making some great contributions in what has been a lucidly argued debate If you're not interested, perhaps read another thread

You're right to say the source is questionable but I'd also like to see the methodology, which will reveal if they've tried to bug it If it's stratified by voting intention and asks questions that aren't loaded I really do think it's a legitimate poll

On the core issue here of determining the code of conduct I'm interested What other methods would people use to determine what should and shouldn't be in the code of conduct?

Just before we do the usual branding exercise here The straw poll of online clicks had 89% saying don't sack him Clearly that's not scientific and not reflective of public opinion The Focus Group was different and was stratified to reflect the population via voting intention It's not as...

I think I pretty clearly explained it Derpus, but I'm more than happy to explain it again In designing any code of conduct document, you're clearly explaining what your expectations in the community of your employees are Now Rugby AU has said it wants to reflect the communities values, also...

My argument was about you dismissing the numbers as an online poll - which is a strawman The other stuff is not a strawman, but it's not what I was referring to
