Well, I think Lt Nella Darin was an Aussie

You know, played by Wendy Hughes, had a relationship with Picard in Season 6.

However there aren't as many Aussies in Starfleet as in any average Hollywood movie these days!

The only Arab person I can think of off-hand was:

The King of Jordan is a big Trek fan and did a walk-on as an Ensign in an episode of Voyager.

A fair question as to why there aren't more - in fact I'd say that proportionally there just aren't enough Indians or Chinese either.

Hell, there was more racial diversity in the Original Series! Now we have 'Enterprise' where most of the crew are from the US, with token British and American/Japanese representation. Star Trek has moved from ground-breaking to ultra conservative.

So the chances of an Australian born gay crewmember of Arab descent appearing on 'Enterprise' would be just about zero. And that's not a joke.
