Australia had gained a great deal as a result of the event known as The Fall. It had gained a large increase in population, industrial growth and an increase in rain in western Australia.. Money had poured into the country from Hawaiian investments. But Hawaii was also investing in New Zealand.
Considering today new Zealand barely has 5 Million people, This is understandable!
At the turn of the century New Zealand had a population approaching 6 million as a result of The Fall. For nearly 30 years the country had seen a demand for a lot of items among them being new home and jobs. There had been a shortage of medical personnel that had gradually disappeared as younger people had graduated from College and Medical Schools.
Australia had seen an even large population increase and the development of a trans continental. railroad. The Fall had seen a massive increase in several of the lakes in the west
and as a result there had been development of the land.. Thus population and foreign investment allowed for the great boom to take place.

The Hawaiian Government and the Australian Government reached an agreement in the late 1890s which would allow Hawaii to have Capital ships built in Australia. This came about due to the fact that Hawaii had to import materials to manufacture steel and it would be easier and less expensive to have them built in Australia.
Thus a shipyard in the Melbourne area was purchased and worked began on turning it into a facility capable of doing the job. The Royal Hawaiian Navy set up an office in the area so as to help with the construction.

Hawaii's need for resources needed to produce goods was leading to increased production in Australia. Prior to The Fall the Hawaiians would buy goods from the US but after the Fall there was the problem with reconnecting the country and with the Mexican dictator. As a result the Hawaiians turned to Australia and to New Zealand.
In 1912 the Shipyard in Australia began work on the second ship in the Polynesian Class of Battleships.It was based on an altered British design of the King George V . The Hawaiians had worked on the design with the Royal Navy. The first ship had been started in Hawaii but the other two ships would be built in Australia. It would use oil for a fuel rather than coal. The engines had been designed in Hawaii.
The Royal Australian Navy sought to build two battlecruisers in Australianand sought the assistance of the Royal Hawaiian Navy's design bureau . The Australians received the benefit of a study that the Hawaiian Navy had done on the Queen Mary class of Battlecruiser. The Australians would be getting a ship that had been modified and had receceived modifications to flaws in the original Royal Navy design.
