SYDNEY (AFP) - Sacked Wallabies rugby star Israel Folau Monday (Nov 18) sparked outrage by suggesting destructive bushfires and drought ravaging Australia were "God's judgement" for the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion.
The devout Christian, who is pursuing legal action against Rugby Australia after being fired in May for posting on Instagram that "hell awaits" gay people and others he considers sinners, made his latest outburst in a Sydney church sermon on Sunday.

So how does that work? Some innocent folk lost their homes and their lives in a bushfire, genius-boy sees something more than a coincidence. I couldn’t give a fig what nonsense he spouts at the pulpit on Sundays before likeminded people. However he should not be allowed publish his hateful “sermon” online. Zero respect for others. Is he speaking ill of the dead? Or just talking out his arse?
[LAWS]"They were appalling comments and he is a free citizen, he can say whatever he likes. But that doesn't mean he can't have regard to the grievous offence this would have caused to people whose homes have been burnt down," said the prime minister.
Even one of his most staunch allies, former Wallabies coach and conservative radio host Alan Jones, was unimpressed. "Israel is a lovely human being, I know him well. But, Israel, button up," Jones said on his 2GB radio programme. "These comments don't help."[/LAWS]
One sad individual!
