A late night show caricature of a xenophobic Aussie slogan, meant to be inherently ridiculous and contradictory. Because, you know, look at any map, Australia’s extremely fucking empty. Even the nice coastal bits where people actually want to live.
Reactionaries unironically adopting it is a real Sartre quote moment.
I always thought it was a joke.

I think you're right, though I couldn't find the actual origin.
It's definitely been thoroughly coopted by the people it was supposed to mock now.
