Australia did have a Women's Land Army, and also had the use of POW's and internee's. The Italian POWs were quite productive and co-operative, with many choosing to settle here at war's end. The German POWs and internees slightly less so. The Japanese POWs were quite steadfastly unco-operative.
Japanese made up a far larger proportion of New Zealand POWs, and I would presume they also had a similar attitude to co-operating.
