I'll say what I think - this is deliberate payback from FIFA to make sure we don't make it through. How dare an Australian team do well at the World cup. Many in Australia made a lot of noise about the loss to Italy in the last world cup (imho, very fairly so, it was blatantly deliberate bad refereering to make sure we didn't beat the favourites, Italy), and I'd say that FIFA didn't take this well and this is payback. Call me uninformed or paranoid, I usually have a very good intuition for things, and this is what my intuition is tellng me in this instance. Personally, I think we should tell FIFA to shove the World cup - it's full of corruption and favouritism to the established favourites.
