Alan Jones has blasted Qantas, suggesting the major sponsor for Rugby Australia is also responsible for ending Israel Folau’s rugby career.
Speaking to 2GB’s Ben Fordham, Jones said: “This is the same sponsor who has a contract with Middle Eastern airline companies whose treatment of women and homosexuals is repugnant.
“We’re talking money from an entity which has a corporate engagement with international organisations whose treatment of women and homosexuals is totally unacceptable to the moral standards of Australians, but that’s OK. That seems to be OK.
“It’s OK to punch someone and you get six weeks. It’s OK to be on drugs and you get reinstated, but if the boy dares to proclaim his commitment to Christianity he’s banned for life,” Jones said.
