I think they should make it harder to become a citizen. It should be take at least 5 years in that way they won't have so many Brits using it as a fallback should they decide after all that UK isn't what they want. Maybe those ping pongers shouldn't be allowed back in once they pack up and go back to blighty.
= I totally agree. There are too many people in Oz already considering that a lot of the country is a desert. I like immigrants though, they are usually vibrant, forward thinking go-getters (minus a few whingers who are always on the look-out for irritants) and Oz needs them. People who migrate and can become citizens after 2 years of PR are really lucky, they then have 2 passports which enable them to work in Oz, NZ or anywhere in Europe.

The way when you try to get answers from people performing a 'service' they tell you to go and look on the website! Each time I ask a question of either RTA,Centerlink,Medicare or nearly all other gov organisations I get told to go find the answer myself on the website.
