Australian should boycott the upcoming FIFA congress in response to its 2022 World Cup bid being snubbed, according to the man who blew the whistle on FIFA's shady dealings in a BBC documentary.

BBC investigative journalist, Andrew Jennings, said today that the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, to Russia and Qatar respectively, was another nail in the coffin of FIFA's respectability.

Jennings said FIFA president Sepp Blatter would be looking for re-election at the conference in May and it was incumbent on Australia - and England - not to vote for him in protest at the treatment of their World Cup bids, when the two nations received one and two votes, respectively.

"Next May is the FIFA congress where Sepp Blatter, the man who made fools of Australia, will be asking to be re-elected," Jennings said.

"Australia needs to start a grass roots campaign stating that Australia will not vote for this man. That Australia will walk out of the congress. That Australia will sit on its hands. That Australia will protest.

"You have to be men about this, or strong women. Surely no one likes being kicked like Australia has been. Australia needs to stand on its own feet, put its shoulders back and say we are not having it."

Speaking on Melbourne radio station SEN, Jennings however agreed that this prospect was unlikely and instead suggested that Australia would take the opposite stance at the congress.

"I think you will go along, shake hands with Sepp, enjoy your per diem payments and say thanks for standing up for Australia, Sepp," he said.

Jennings' Panorama documentary uncovered the murky dealings that led up to the voting of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.

Throughout the process, FIFA was alleged to have received large sums of money from countries such Russia. Jennings said that he knew of these shenanigans well before he started making his documentary.

"I was suspicious as soon as the crooks at FIFA said they would announce two votes at one time,'' he said. ''It was obvious then that the old guys would try and pull two lots of goodies before they got too old to carry the bags of money away.

"For months there was reputable information circulating about bags of money being transferred from the Russian side to the FIFA side. This wasn't behind closed doors and in the dark; this was out in the open."

Jennings said it was more difficult to uncover corruption with the Qatar bid, and allegations of vote-swapping with the Spain-Portugal consortium bidding for 2018, but a recent Qatari shirt sponsorship deal for Spanish club Barcelona had sounded alarm bells.

"I haven't heard much about Qatar but now I see that Barcelona have signed a shirt sponsor that is based in Qatar. Surely you have to ask yourself then what sensible football administrator would send the World Cup to the heat and the desert of Qatar," he said.

When asked whether he thought Australia and England had attempted to bribe other countries Jennings was unsure.

"I don't think England offered bribes and I'm a Scot so I can look over Hadrian's Wall and say that objectively."

"But I did wonder, when Frank Lowy hired two of the dirtiest so-called consultants in world football, Fedor Radmann and Peter Hargitay, what game they were playing? And, to be honest, I really don't know if they gave bribes.''

Jennings was relentless in his decrying of Radmann, alleging that the German was behind some of football's worst vote-fixing in recent history.

"He (Radmann) has taken advantage of the Australian taxpayer. He has shovelled millions of dollars into his pockets," Jennings told SEN.

"It was Fedor who suitcased the bribes that allowed Germany to beat Africa for the 2006 World Cup bid. The question then has to be asked why did Australia hire him?"

Jennings was also heavily critical of Hargitay, Lowy's other major appointment for the 2022 bid: "The only thing England got right in this campaign was when they realised that Hargitay was a buffoon, a charlatan, a mountebank. He is what we call in criminal circles a conman."

The English journalist also likened the way FIFA ran its world Cup bid to a dodgy casino.

"Would you go to a casino that had a big sign over the door that said the dice are loaded, the cards are marked and the wheel is rigged; come in sucker and lose your money?

"That's the FIFA casino and you have to look at the people that lead you through the door, that took your money and made you look like fools."
