^keep in mind, for the average person, it's not just workplace expectations but what Fair Work Australia deems reasonable.

There's no point having a policy that says you will sack people for x, y and z if Fair Work aren't going to let it fly.

The fact that people have been sacked for stuff posted on social media and fair work have supported decisions is what creates the precedent of what is acceptable and what's not.

Started as an emergency registrar at Box Hill in Jan 2019.

I'm tipping if he's still employed there it won't be for long unless they've really changed,

Back to the Folau cas
Rugby Australia is facing a potential Polynesian player backlash after one of the Wallabies' most exciting prospects claimed all Pacific Islanders "might as well just be sacked" because of their religious beliefs.

In an explosive development days out from Israel Folau's attempt to save his multimillion-dollar career at an RA code of conduct hearing, Queensland Reds and Wallabies hooker Taniela Tupou took to Facebook to express his support for the under-fire superstar.


"Seriously Might as well sack me and all the other Pacific Islands rugby players around the world because we have the same Christian beliefs," Tupou posted late on Tuesday night.

"I will never apologise for my faith and what i believe in, religion had nothing to do with rugby anyways #TYJ"

The 6 weeks was from the regulating body, AHPRA. His employer has suspended him from work (on pay) while they do their own investigation.

Good. Puts Rugby Australia in a very, very awkward spot, which is where they ought to be.

Let's be honest.

It's Rugby Union.

Who gives a stuff anyway?

Rugby League has won the battle for the hearts and minds in the northern states while the AFL is more popular again across the whole of the country.

These two sports sucking talent away from RU is the prime reason we get embarrassed by the Kiwi's every bloody time now.

Good enough reason right there to let it die.

LOL.

Rugby League expressed the same stance as RA. And it's not just about rugby, is it?

Luke Creasey, the labor candidate for Melbourne, under fire from both the Libs and the Greens for comments he made on facebook back in 2012 may not just have his chances of election in a touch of strife. apparently, he's a teacher at Coburg High school.

I'm getting in early posting about him in this thread

I think it’d be a disgrace if he got sacked for that, honestly.

Mob mentality. What happens if enough parents at that school get over heated and start complaining to the department and the principal?

Don’t want to be a broken record, but this is why we desperately need better labour laws in this area.
