The POD for this TL is a change in policy by Australian politicians after WWI.
IOTL "Enemy Aliens " especially non English speaking ones had had strict quotas even after the initial five year ban from 1920.

My POD is that instead of this ban it is replaced by one where only "white Aliens" are allowed visas regardless of nationality.

In the 1930's this policy is expanded to encourage educated or wealthy "white aliens" to migrate to Australia.
The appointment of Sir Isaac Isaac's as Australian Governor General and his widely published views that Jewishness was a religious identity not an ethnic or national one won him many converts to this view in Australia and the Australian public slowly lost their fear of the Jews.
The result of this policy change and Sir Isaac's term as Governor General is that by the time the Nazis start passing anti-Jewish laws the trickle of 'white aliens' has becomes a steady flow particularly Jews looking for a safer home.
Now the Nazis of Germany are happy to let the Jews leave.

As the 1930's come to an end Jewish migration turns for a flow to a flood and not only from German lands but also Poland and Russia.

So what happens now?

Australia has a steady growing population some of which are highly skilled.

What effect does this have on Australia and the war in general?

Lets discuss?
