## Resource

Socceroo Awer Mabil is firing back at claims Australia is monocultural, calling them “bullshit” after returning from the World Cup. Born in a Kenyan refugee camp and raised in Australia, Mabil — named Young Australian of the Year in 2023 — says the Socceroos are a living symbol of modern, inclusive Australia. He rejects Senator Pauline Hanson’s argument that multiculturalism has failed, insisting diversity is the team’s strength, not a weakness. Mabil and teammates like Jackson Irvine proudly highlight their migrant roots in a tournament video, proving the team reflects Australia’s true multicultural identity. He argues that embracing diversity brings richer perspectives and values — you can’t choose your background, but you can choose to be a good person, and that’s what truly matters.
