Default How narky will immigration at Heathrow be?

My wife is taking our baby daughter to the UK for a visit in May. My wife will be travelling on her UK passport but the baby only has an Oz one at this stage - haven't got around to getting a UK one for her yet.

Is there any chance that the immigration people at Heathrow will say 'we can't be sure that you aren't coming back for good, so we won't issue a tourist visa to your daughter'? I doubt it but then again have met some pretty obtuse people working in that job.

Australian citizens going on a holiday to the UK for less than 6 weeks don't need a visa. (May be longer but it covers normal length holidays anyway).

"As a general guide, visas are not required for Australians entering the United Kingdom for a tourism or business stay of less than six months but are required if you intend to work." http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-c...United_Kingdom
