Paassport question
Just become an Australian citizen having survived the two years probation! Seems that this brings more problems than solutions - I will HAVE to vote now anytime there is an election of any sort.
Also I need to get an Australian passport ($170) very soon as without one I cannot get back into Australia as my Permanent Residents visa in UK passport no longer valid.
Question is, when I go to the UK (hopefully in June and World Cup time!) can I use my Aussie passport to leave and re-enter Aus and then my UK passport to enter and leave UK? This sounds good as immigration queues will be mostly avoided. Or do I have to use the same passport alltrip? Or does no-one care??

You can use your UK one to enter and leave the UK and your Aussie one to enter and leave Aus.
