Mabil calls Hanson's monoculture claim "bullshit"
Socceroo Awer Mabil has called Pauline Hanson's claim that the national team embodies a monocultural Australia "bullshit," speaking as the squad returns home from their World Cup campaign. "We know what we represent," Mabil said, pushing back against the One Nation leader's comments that the Socceroos reflected her vision of Australia (1). The winger, born in a Kenyan refugee camp before arriving in Australia as a child, has long been one of the team's most vocal advocates for multiculturalism. His response lands as the Socceroos exit the tournament following their Round of 32 defeat to Egypt.
