Nah, we already put people in concentration camps (although at least there
are stormy and highly media-covered protests at this monstrous behavior).
But bear in mind that, according to a statement from the relevant minister
at the time, "There are now some 90 Australians, reportedly in the vicinity
of the World Trade Centre at the time of the attacks, who are still
unaccounted for." Quite a few of those would have been from Melbourne or
Sydney (sic). How many died from your neck of the woods? (Yes, I know, this
is a gruesome thing to be tussling over.)
