And? England kicked out the Protestants and sent them to the Americas, which led to the USA as we know it, because they didn't want to deal with their religion (oversimplified, but it's the gist of it). So really, its more like America because they didn't want to deal with the Faunus.

The thing about Australia is that yes, they sent the criminals here, but they also came here of their own volition and became the new Lords and Ladies. They were the free settlers.

None of the humans wanted to move to Menagerie and do the same, they just wanted all the Faunus gone. In this case, it is more similar to the settling of America by white people when the English kicked the Protestants out and they became the Pioneers, because the English weren't interested in moving there themselves.
