Nov 4th, 2008:
A case heard before the European Courts has determined that the UK government is free to freeze the pension rates, in the way that it currently does, for retirees that live in certain countries (Australia included).
The case judgement is here: Carson and Others v. the United Kingdom (application no. 42184/05)
