So what. Not everybody wants to visit the US.
Not just the US anymore, more and more airlines do not allow children to travel on parents passports, if my memory serves me right even Ryanair and Easyjet introduced this policy some time ago.
Play safe and get the children their own passports now.

Getting a new UK passport in Aus or any other country oustside the UK won't be as quick regardless.

Estonia, for example, recently put in place a rule saying that children aged 7+ had to have their own passports, and the Czech Republic won't accept 15 year olds on parent's passports.
And you already know your child cannot set foot on US soil without a visa.
Why do you think the UK, Canada and Australia no longer put children on new passports issued to parents?
It's 'not smart' these days to travel with children on parent's passports. However at the end of the day, it'll be your problem to fix if you encounter hassles - not anyone else's.

Just as a point of interest, this is the official UK line:
Children included on Passports before 5th October 1998
Before 5th October 1998 many children were already included on a valid passport. These children can still continue to travel abroad with the passport holder until either:
The child reaches the age of 16.
The passport on which the child is included expires.
The passport on which the child is included is submitted for amendment.
Remember, children cannot be re-added to passports which are submitted for amendment. In these circumstances, you will need to apply for separate passports for any children who were previously included on your passport. This application would be treated as a first time child's application.
IMPORTANT - Children travelling to the USA from 26 October 2004 will need their own passport;

Don't want to be awkward, but the original poster asked for advice. This was given. Why did it then need to turn into a slanging match between you and Jeremy. You have your opinion and experience and Jeremy ditto. So you don't want his advice - don't take it, simple

2. If it bothers you so much why are getting involved instead of just ignoring it?

FWIW:
I read the replies, assessed what I saw as good advice, weighed up the pros and cons and ran with it.
Game over for me now on this subject.
