Dan McLaughlin added,
Bill Bryson writes well - if briefly - on this in his book on Australia - the plan to surrender almost the entire continent, the push by the UK to send Aussie troops to India, & the post-war decision to welcome more immigrants. (Population was just 7.5 million in 1945)
Which is sort of a replay of Canada in the 1860s.
