Taildragger, my comment was tongue-in-cheek.
Gina Rinehart has been on the record for some time now suggesting that NW Australia should be opened up as a 'special economic zone' with tax exemptions and the ability to bring in workers from SE Asia on contracts that are exempted from the need to comply with Australian labour laws.
The idea of opening up an area of Avalon as you suggested reminded me of her plans. There are certain parallels even though they are clearly not identical.
And the poetry? Apparently somewhere she has stuck a poem on a rock (seriously) which I've quoted (see the link) about her brilliant ideas to establish these SEZs and import low cost labour. The story of the rock has been all over the papers today. Try a google search on Gina Rinehart poetry.
Cheers.
