Can't comment on the rest of your argument but I believe that this part of it is simply not correct.
It is a common claim on this thread but is does not accord at all with the counter-claim.
WA claims that,
on a per capita basis, it has taken
MORE than any of the other states.
Either someone is telling porkies or someone thinks that "per capita" is not relevant and only raw numbers matter.
I believe that it is relevant.
I think that ability to accept returnees needs to be proportionate to availability of facilities and that availability of facilities is probably proportionate to population.
Unless someone has evidence to the contrary then I think that is exactly what WA has done + some.
