What POD(s) would it take so that at least one penal colony was maintained on the mainland of Australia and/or Tasmania into the late 1800s or early 1900s? Could they gain a similar setup to France's 'Devil's Island' in which female and male prisoners are introduced in hope of building up the population faster? Would this require more changes to the politics/society of mainland Australia/Tasmania or to that or England and parliament?
