Should Australia stay in the AFC?

The question is, what benefit has Australia brought to the AFC? I haven't seen much benefit.

They stand to benefit from than the AFC, because previously their players were stuck playing New Zealand and Fiji for half a world cup spot.

Id rather play Australia toe to toe then deal with the bullshit arabs bring.. we can beat aussies or loose with pride to them.. or we can deal with corruption time wasting and bullshit with the arabs

Also having Australia in AFC ensures awesome tournaments like AC2015.. The Iranian fans had the most fun this tournament, Also a team like Aussies in AFC will keep the professionalism high, they will complain to fifa when the arabs do their tricks to the aussies

Before everyone starts bashing me, please read the thread before commenting.

There has been a recent movement (mostly from Arabian federations) to kick Australia out of the AFC.

Their reasoning? Well, they claim that Australia hasn't brought anything to the table in terms of benefits for the AFC, i.e it has not been mutually beneficial for AFC and Australia. Australia has taken up 1 of the very few four spots that AFC is allocated for the World Cup, and their clubs have performed well in the ACL(Wanderers winning it this year).

Australia leaving could also be beneficial for Iran as we have better chances of making the world cup.

Personally, I'm against throwing Australia out, only because they are a solid team that raises the profile of AFC. Sure they take up one spot that potentially could be ours, but I'd rather TM improve and deserve to go through than to play a bunch of Arab teams to go through.

What do you guys think?
