*Most Kanak laborers in Australia were '''deported back to New Caledonia in the 1910s''' due to racial fears of Kanaks live among the country's white European-descent majority. Today, an estimated 30,000 '''Australian descendants of Kanaks live in the state of Queensland''', where the main concentration of Australian plantation agriculture took place.<ref>"List of diasporas", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diasporas#N, accessed 30 July 2021.</ref> | |||
