@ the Grand Infidel of Kafiristan

Firstly, 'infidel' was also the term used by the crusaders to refer to Muslims, Jews and frankly anyone who wasn't Christian and Kafiristan was actually a region of Afghanistan (which is now called Nuristan). So your name is really noncentical.

The 'empty heart of Australia' is a metaphor for the empty heart of Australian society. The Australian nation is just an extention of the United Kingdom; don't you still have the Queen as the head of state? Did you have a 'Whites only' immigration policy up till the 1970's? Were you scared of the 'Yellow Peril' (term applied at the time) of being 'swamped' by East Asians? How are you treating Indian students at the moment?

The United Nations just carried out a survey on the treatment by the Australian nation on it's indigenous peoples (the native people) and has concluded that their policy is nothing short of racist!

Australians do have a colonial and fortress mentality, as if they are protecting an outpost of the British Empire and yes I'm pretty sure that most Australians can trace which country their family originates from if not the exact town or village in Europe. So it wouldn't be too difficult to repatriate them to their native shores!

By the way, what inventions have the Australians given to the world (apart from Marmite). You'll find that Australia makes a large volume of money from exploiting the natural resources from the Earth. How difficult would it be for the natives peoples of Australia to sell natural resources to the Chinese (as Australia is doing at the present time)!

Not sure what your point is about Russia but yes the Ural Mountains is where the European subcontinent (as EurAsia is the continent) ends.
