In a move that has raised eyebrows and perhaps a few chuckles, Barnaby Joyce announced he won't be celebrating the Socceroos' win just yet. The reason? Some players apparently look like they might have just landed on Australian soil from a far-off land.
The former Deputy Prime Minister, who seems to have developed a superpower for spotting recent arrivals at house auctions, is applying his unique talent to the soccer field. 'It's just something about them,' Joyce mused, adding that while he's genuinely proud of the team, he's holding back his cheers until he's sure everyone's got their Aussie credentials in order.
Echoing sentiments that might be found in a One Nation pamphlet, Joyce quipped, 'Ordinary Australians are tired of being outscored by players who look like they've just arrived at the airport.'
Note: In true satirical fashion, this article is a work of fiction, much like some of One Nation's more colorful policies.
