However, the proportion of German immigrants was not high to begin with, and Arthur, with his foresight, dispersed them among the large numbers of British and Russian immigrants, effectively making it impossible for them to make waves.
Moreover, most of those who emigrate are those struggling or unable to thrive in their original countries.
After all, who would willingly travel thousands of miles to a foreign land, just to make a living, if they could thrive in their original countries?
These German immigrants in Australasia believe they are living well. To ask them to stand up and oppose the government's decisions, regardless of their current stable life, would be overestimating their affection for their countries of origin.
Unless someone deliberately rallies these Germans and incites them, German immigrants in Australasia fundamentally cannot affect the situation in Australasia.
