Either you're applying to the Australian aboriginals and the Inuit the "land without a people" meme, or you expect the Jews to want to settle in the middle of the Australian outback, or on the Canadian arctic plains?

nope.  if you've ever been to either country, you would know that there are thousands of square miles of uninhabited land that belongs to the "Crown".  very nice land too.  that's why these countries are so open to immigration.

Nope. The early Zionists very well realised that the land they want would NOT be uninhabited. Considerations that the locals should feel they profit from the immigrants' presence and that some re-settlement of them so that there is a Jewish majority precede the final decision for Palestine.
