Opera Australia terminated a contract with Georgian opera singer Tamar Iveri over an offensive anti-gay Facebook post. The incident highlights the issue of whether staff should be taken to task over their private affairs. Iveri’s homophobia would have damaged Opera Australia’s brand as well as many audience member’s ability to be drawn in by her performance. Social media breaches by employees are less clear-cut if the employer has a less prominent "brand", the employee lacks a public profile or the comments are less offensive
