Australia had difficulty, placing some of its products on an international market, suffering from over-production.

There was propaganda created to get women into factory jobs
<-- similar to the propaganda that made the men enlist to the war

Naturalised British subjects originally from enemy nations.

Australian born descendants of migrants from enemy nations.
