Can anybody think of a scenario whereby Australia would actually have a present-day near-par Asian population however still resembling otl Australia in most facets of government, quality of life etc?

Define 'Asian'.
For example, bearing in mind the location of Israel/Palestine, do people of Hebraic ancestry count?
Oh, you mean the Kimberly Proposal just before World War II. Sir Issac Issacs and the "proper British" Anglo-Jewish Community shot it down IOTL and slammed the door in their faces out of fear that instead of staying in the Ord and Fitzroy Valleys of Northeast Western Australia, the Eastern European Jews would troop off to Sydney and date their sons and daughters and make a total mess of things. So the Aussie Jewish Community at the time led the call to keep them out.Define 'Asian'.

Imagine a situation where, with the Ottomans and then the British less favourable to Jewish re-settlement in the Middle East, and perhaps also a version of [or substitute for] the USA that's open to non-[Protestant] Christian immigrants as well, a lot of refugees from the pogroms during the late 19th & early 20th centuries are offered & accept assisted passage to Australia instead.
Kibbutzes along the edges of the Outback?

I was actually thinking of a hypothetical earlier proposal, at some point during the Russian pogroms, maybe even pre-Confederation...Oh, you mean the Kimberly Proposal just before World War II.
