Nope, no double tax, as you get credit for the tax already suffered in Australia.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but depending on your UK personal tax position you may also have to pay tax on this interest in the UK.
Example: assume the interest is A$2,000 (gross), which equates to about £850.
If you are paying tax in the UK at 22% your liability on this interest income is £850 x 22%, or £187. You have already suffered 10% tax (£85), so there is a balance of £102 to pay to the Inland Revenue.

If you are UK resident and domiciled (as most who live in the UK are), your worldwide income is assessable.

This cannot be right if, as a UK taxpayer you are taxed on UK income only, the Oz component is irrelevant.

If this is the case what is the point of investing in offshore accounts (Jersey , Isle of Man etc) to avoid tax?

Possibly the deferral of tax (but not avoidance - unless you are non-UK domiciled, but that's another issue), and in so doing obtaining a slightly higher effective rate of interest by obtaining interest on the tax element until it has to be paid over to the Inland Revenue.

What are you advocating ...? I'm not going to enter into a discussion that alludes to avoiding your tax responsibilities.

Nothing is being advocated but ATO surely have penalties to deter people from non-declaration otherwise everyone would be involved to a greater or lesser degree.
