The Brits, Italians and Greeks are probably already in front, we have a large population of them all and they, in general, HAVE WORKRD HARD AND INTERGRATED into the community.
Australia can't fit in the whole of Europe, but I fear we might have to give it a bloody good try.
Can I put my name down first please for 3 of us, Can I have the Gold coast or somewhere nearby, I don't want any outback place and definitely not Adelaide. Also I have a special dietry need and refuse to eat drop bear but don't mind a bit of Kangaroo (but not testicles). I am willing to fit in and will buy a Ute, a surf board and eat Lamingtons on 26th January (I will even watch "football" on an oval pitch"), I have been practising your language by watching "Neighbours" and "Home and Away" , Strewth, you flaming gallah. You are such a dag, etc etc.
