This thematic consideration runs through the entire length of the novel. If humans are inherently dangerous and evil, then Australia might not actually be any worse, even if they only send criminals. The question that always comes to mind when thinking about Australia's early colonization is, "What is a society of miscreants like?" The book seems to play with that idea, but actually, the truth of the matter is that although Australia is filled with criminals, so is Great Britain, still. So Australia represents the underground of Britain, and they acknowledge that within the book, even performing a play about that very thing.
No one in Australia is innocent (almost by design). Even the most noble, appropriate person is a petty thief. The question about "blurred lines" exists throughout the novel. Not to say that sin and crime are the same, but they are thematically related, especially in this novel.
