Israel Folau’s legal fight to save his rugby career has divided Australia — and a newscomauHQ poll on the key questions at the heart of the debate shows just how stark that divide is.

I’ve been bingeing on Sons of Anarchy this month and in the show — like in our criminal court system — you need a unanimous vote to strip a motorcycle club member of his patch. I’d say the relatively narrow margin of this result suggests Rugby Australia was wrong to rob a man of his livelihood.This result confirms Folau’s belief that many people who disagree with his comments nevertheless feel he should not have been sacked over them.

. Experts lean towards Rugby Australia winning this case, but with no precedent to work from, it’s far closer to a 50/50 toss-up than most people think.Former Wallaby and Folau opponent Peter FitzSimons thought asking the public for money reduced support for the former Waratah from “30 per cent to 10 per cent”. But the result suggests it wasn’t as damaging as Fitzy thought.This is a big majority, and a firm rebuke of Folau’s decision to seek donations from the public.

may have actually benefited from the exposure, as people who may not have donated otherwise dipped into their pockets.Jai is bang on here. The best thing that has come out of this saga is the extra attention Folau has drawn, however unintentionally, to . Though I must confess, it’s still slightly disheartening that twice as many people donated to the rich sportsman than the children in desperate need of help. Hopefully there was some overlap.Pretty much mirrors the result to the first question. If you were against Folau, you likely thought GoFundMe made the right move.I’m actually surprised this reflects the first result so closely. I’ve spoken to a fair few people who supported Folau’s sacking, but thought GoFundMe went too far.

I don’t take sides as I have principles

Its inaccurate to claim that the result is a reflection of Australia. It is not. Its only a view of a percentage of the australian population who is interested in this matter.

61.6% to 38.4% - does anyone remember that result?

He’s not trying to save his career. He wanted to be terminated because he wanted this furore! He is fighting for $10million in compensation plus legal costs!

I wish you’d stop talking about him. Fed up!

HE wants to SAVE his career but, if he could, would send homosexuals and others to hell, if they don’t repent. Makes sense.

I hope this poll wasn't organised by the folks that told us Trump, Brexit & LNP would ALL fail / loose. Credible?

Love these polls. So accurate, so, so accurate🤣🤣 and you wonder how ACL raised over $2M in 2 days for Folau. Same poll methodology and sampling as the recent elections or just those bothered to follow ?

This poll goes to show how so many vocal commentators in the media are so wrong when it comes to judging the mood and viewpoint of many ordinary Australians on this subject.

It's time that the media forget about a sacked rugby union player and move on to covering something else

If media outlets like would just forget about Israel Folau, the Israel Folau saga and it has become that would go away. Don't you have something better to cover? The media continues to stir up peoples anger by publishing something about him.

Can you actually include the clear results to each question in the article? All I could see were comments from Sam and Jai.

Oh man I'm so over this negative/sensitive/insensitive to straight people getting mad to gay people being triggered. If you're gay, whatever this guy thinks doesn't change it. If you're christian, nobody gives a shit. Opinions are worthless. So tell your kids to buy BITCOIN!

SUCH BEHAVIOUR AND BULLYING MUST BE STOPPED AND MUST NOT BE TOLERATED. Eventually, EVERYONE will be a LOSER. Do not forget about that Qantas gay, arse-enjoying Leprechaun. HE and that SEX OBJECT who runs Rugby AUSTRALIA started it.

PUBLIC CORRECTNESS used by people and industry to oppose FREE SPEECH and make demands, that is very close to BULLYING. A Sports body wants to control what their players say. Other organisations want to bully us into following their doctrine.

New Folau fundraiser surpasses previous GoFundMe appeal, more than $1.2m raisedDonations to Israel Folau's new fundraising effort for his legal fight against Rugby Australia have surpassed $1.2 million and has raised more money than his removed GoFundMe appeal [And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. He lives in a multi million dollar house FFS, let him pay his own legal bills, sheesh. It is time to view the Bible for what it is. A book of violence and bigotry that has no place in any modern society. It is worthless as a 'historic' document, and is clearly inciting bigotry in Australia while being held up as a holy book by a pack of child rapists.
