Was Pauline right about the Socceroos?

Was Pauline right about the Socceroos?

Pauline Hanson made a very interesting point when she compared the multi-ethnic Socceroos team to Australia's culture. BRN is not sure exactly what Pauline meant but in this article we will analyse what she might be getting at and see if it makes sense.

But first - a brief observation. For many years we have campaigned for voters to dump the LNP and the ALP. Both are proven failures in looking after the interests of Aussies and their country. We think One Nation is now the best chance for productive change - BUT it is 100% dependent on what policies they bring to the election. The politician or party does not matter! Whoever puts in place the needed policies should get our vote. 

Pauline has lots of good ideas but no politician is perfect. Even if people don't like her they should still vote for her - IF she presents policies that will repair the decades of damage caused by the two major parties. In addition, One Nation must be competent at arguing the case for change and they must be effective in managing the logistics of government and bureaucracy.

It is worth noting that other Independents and Minor parties have some good policies but One Nation now is in a position where if cards are played well they will either have the balance of power or possibly even win in 2028.

How does this sound - ON/APP/NP? That's a grouping of One Nation - Australian Peoples Party - National Party. Anything could happen in two years’ time - perhaps a new coalition will have the numbers needed to bring in policies that could save Australia.

Mono-Culture

Some people are hung up about the term Mono-Culture but what we think Pauline really means is Aussie Culture. The Socceroos are a team that works hard and smart together to excel and win. This is just like Australia should be.

Australia has its own culture. It is an attractive culture that millions of people flocked to after WW2. Many people were brutalised while being forced to live under authoritarian dictatorships - of the left and right. They yearned to live in civilised freedom where core human rights are respected. Australia wasn't perfect but it was far better than the alternatives. The new Aussies wanted to be left alone to build a good life for their families in a stable and peaceful environment. They couldn't tolerate meddling and intrusive governments interfering in their families, lives, and businesses. They wanted to contribute to Australia's growth and prosperity.

Let's see how the Socceroos would perform if the divide and conquer policies of the culture manipulators were applied to the game

A team working together needs to have one language. Imagine if many of the team refused to learn or speak English. Australia is an English speaking country. If you want to speak a foreign language at home with family and friends - no worries mate! But at the pub, supermarket, local restaurant there won't be an option to speak 60 different languages. How could Australia progress if people aren't encouraged to learn the country's language?

Just imagine how poorly the Socceroos would perform if all the players decided to follow different rules. Some players might think that if a player touches the ball the penalty should be cutting off the offending hand. There is one set of rules. In Australia we have one set of laws that apply to all citizens equally. If you don't believe or respect the laws don't come here.

Should the Socceroos have multiple mascots and symbols or insignias? No - they are one team. Australia has one flag which illustrates our position in the world. How effective would the team be if everyone was dressed in different uniforms and colours?

How would the Socceroos treat one of their players if the guy spilled acid on his sister because she went on a date with an Aussie? What if he made arrangements to have his daughter's clitoris cut out? Aussie Culture does not tolerate these stone age, primitive, and barbaric actions and neither would the Socceroos!

How could the Socceroos excel if many - or even any - of the players refused to: speak English; follow the rules; respect shared values and symbols of the game? This also applies to our country.

Let's take the analogy a bit further with a thought experiment

The family of one of the players knows he has talent and ability so they want to help him as much as possible to improve and reach his goals. Dad has saved some money. He could have spent that money buying some expensive furniture and a flash TV. Of course the government would have taken a 10% cut as GST on the spend and the savings would then be gone from the family forever.

Instead - the money was saved and invested. Gains were made which would be used to help the soccer-playing son with extra training opportunities and other support programs. BUT the government has decided to tax investment gains at the highest level in the world. The family now has less money available to help their son. They sacrificed consumption today for an investment to help their son later. 

When you look at it this way it is clear there should be no tax at all on savings and investments because a sacrifice was made. The money saved was after tax income and the family chose not to spend it. Therefore they should be free to manage that money with no interference or pillaging by a rapacious government that is incapable of spending that money wisely, competently, or appropriately.

If the point is not yet clear let's make it obvious. Government treatment of people and their property is ludicrous, criminal, and bordering on torture. It is just one good example of why post-WW2 migrants came to Australia - to flee from governments that intruded into every key aspect of their lives. Innocent civilians had their property stolen or vandalised. There was no respect for privacy. State surveillance was the norm. People couldn't trust their neighbours. Children were indoctrinated by "teachers" and coerced into reporting their parents to the police for "thought crimes."

How would people feel if the Socceroos had a policy in place to make sure the best players weren't allowed to hurt the feelings of players who weren't quite as good. The best players were forced to wear a weighted handicap belt during play so they couldn't get a better result than the players who didn't want to train as hard or invest in other support programs. Absolute insanity ... right?

While it has been damaged after decades of sabotage and subversion - Aussie Culture is built on inheritances from Britain - the rule of law, Magna Carta, and Bill Of Rights. We are a nation that pays lip service to core human rights but in practice we have let the team down mainly due to political manipulators opposed to freedom of choice in the way people can run their lives and businesses.

People should be free to work, invest and prosper in a truly free nation. Those that do well should not be punished - they should be respected. Those that through misfortune or other reasons can't excel and prosper can get the help they require because they will be living in one of the richest countries in the world. The worst place to live when life is tough is a banana republic. Major party policies are turning Australia into a classic example - particularly now when it is clear they have caused the housing affordability and cost of living crises.

It is time to save the nation and at the moment the best option may just be Pauline and One Nation but there are caveats.

One Nation must:

   1. Outline clearly the spending cuts required. We've written about this for years - many government spending programs have been corrupted and are really just fleecing taxpayers and the country. Net Zero and AUKUS are the two biggest problems and must be axed. Trillions of dollars wasted for net zero climate benefit and net zero new submarine capabilities.

   2. Explain to people honestly that axing wasteful government programs will mean that many government workers will need to find or create jobs in the private sector.

   3. Make sure that small businesses are freed from the compliance and taxation burdens that are currently choking them. It is too hard to establish and maintain a successful business in Australia. Many people can't be bothered to "have a crack" at building a useful business. Government must get off the backs of business. This must be done so that newly freed public servants can find and create new work opportunities easily.

   4. Seek out policies that voters will find attractive and then they must be explained extremely well. BRN of course suggests they start by having a look at our policy platform. It covers a wide range of important issues including - A Sovereign Wealth Fund and Monetary System; Taxation Reform; Energy, Food & Resource Security; A Bill of Rights; Zero Tolerance of Corruption in Business & Politics; Population Management and Foreign Property Ownership restrictions - amongst others.

   5. Be extremely careful to avoid the traps their enemies will set for them - and for Pauline. It is quite likely that some "supporters" of One Nation are really agent provocateurs. At meetings and rallies these phony supporters will deliberately cause trouble and mayhem. The aim being to turn middle class and undecided voters away from the party. The party must also make sure that genuine supporters don't fall into similar traps.

An example from the 2026 Belfast riots - 

A Sudanese refugee attacked and seriously injured an Irishman. The Irish don't want uncivilised violence on their streets from knife wielding thugs. If they think the government's handling of immigration is wrong by all means protest peacefully. What happened here is that people went on the march to threaten and harm innocent civilians who may have been immigrants. Big mistake!

#BoycottPollies

The enemy are the politicians who are involved in a global campaign. Save the anger for them. Vote them out! And if that's not enough force them to leave the country by organising a boycott. Politicians that are working against your country and people should not be served in cafes and restaurants, they should not be able to have their cars serviced, no-one should clean their houses. When the pollies make life hard and unbearable for the people then the people make life hard and unbearable for the pollies. Simple! No need for violence and vandalism. In many cases the thugs and vandals just want to bring down the freedom fighters who really want to improve the country.

So - if a Socceroo joins the team and refuses to speak English, refuses to wear the uniform, refuses to follow the rules and respect his team mates - what do you think the club will do? Yes - they'll tell him to "piss off back to where you come from ... mate!"

And - the same for our Aussie Culture - we love to have people from all over the world here. A truly successful multiracial & multi-ethnic society. This can only work in a friendly cohesive way if all Aussies cherish and respect the core cultural pillars and values that make the country peaceful and great. If you want to change the country or you want to behave in an uncivilised manner you will not be welcome.
