After the convicts had fulfilled their sentences, however, they were allowed to either return to England as free men, or were given land in Australia and allowed to live as free men and the new land owners. They didn't even have to buy the land. The Faunus wouldn't have been given that option; instead it would have been more like when the Protestants were sent to America from England because the English didn't want to deal with them any more.

The English basically didn't want anything to do with the first settlers of America until they had finished settling and proved that they were worth having, and then England claimed soveriegnity over America and it took a revolution to overthrow that. Just as the Faunus had a revolution to avoid being sent to Menagerie in the first place.

Australia never had a revolution to break free from the English; we never fought against the prison colony idea, we never fought against England continuing to rule us after we were free, and we are in fact still part of the Commonwealth even if we are no longer actually ruled by England.

So there is actually more in common between the first settlers of America and the Faunus than there are between the Convicts of Australia and the Faunus.
