    Yep. Then no doubt they'll go after the areas that some had suggested for a Jewish State:-

    the Kimberleys in WA


    I thought u were simply pulling my leg when u mentioned the Kimberleys!



    When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Steinberg arranged for his wife and children to join him in London. There he helped to found the Freeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonization, a body which attempted to find a refuge for persecuted European Jews. The league selected the East Kimberley region in Australia's north-west, planned to buy an area of 7 million acres (2,832,830 ha)), and hoped to settle 75,000 Jewish refugees to develop the pastoral and agricultural industries.



    On 15 July 1944 he was informed by Prime Minister John Curtin that the Australian government would not 'depart from the long-established policy in regard to alien settlement in Australia' and could not 'entertain the proposal for a group settlement of the exclusive type contemplated by the Freeland League'. Steinberg continued to wage a paper battle for the scheme. He approached successive prime ministers in 1945 and 1946, and published Australia—The Unpromised Land(London, 1948). It was to no avail.
