Not sure about this, but could "Mate" be an allusion to "friend" (in Australia, and in England/Scotland/Ireland/Wales) which in turn is represented by "bud" (as in short for buddy) which is also short for Budwiser - which is a drink? I hope some of that makes sense. I think that's something to consider?
