40 thousand pound sounds nothing.
Aussie Friends immigrating to Canada are paying $400,000 thats about 160,000 pounds and its tied up for 5 years.
Australia seems very easy to get into compared to USA and Canada. I believe the reason is Australia is desperate for workers to come in and support the ageing population. People with very low education and assets seem to get in, people who would struggle under the criterea of other countries.

Interest rates are higher here so get real and always have been look at the mortgage rates , you will borrow money sometime everyone does.
Did it not dawn on you that if the only way to get in was a bribe that Australia has little use for you?
