* Not to put too fine a point on this, but Australia, historically was invaded [[SnarkBait (by white Europeans, some of whom may be reading this)]] because there was land, resources, and a relatively small native population. So it's not ''that'' implausible that it could happen again.

What about the possibility that colonization may be just a public claim and the actual goal was the resources all along? The fact that the invaders started to move colonists in while the war still raged (putting their own civilians in harm's way and straining their logistic) seems to confirm that. After all "our peoples were starving, we have no other choice" kind of rhethoric would clearly sounds better on international area than "superpower behind us ordered to invade Australia so they could obtain valuable resources"
