I believe the rules have just recently changed though, and the average time it takes to process any Visa application is 3 - 5 months across the board.

    Basically, I think the Aus. govt still gives preference to UK immigrants, but it is unofficial and hidden behind a veil of bureaucracy, for obvious reasons.

    Nevertheless, it still isn't anywhere near as easy as it should be for the British and Irish to immigrate here.

    Yes, I believe that tight immigration restrictions for Aussies to the UK roughly coincided with the UK's entry into the EU. Although it didn't become really tough until the 80's.
    Still costs about Ł3,500 for a visa though

    For Australia? A good friend of mine recently emigrated to Perth with her Aussie husband and it took about 6 months.

    So if Britain goes to s**t there is hope after all??? I've seen their programmes on border jumpers though, I'd have to keep a low profile.
