Finally, I want to ask, why UK make the nationality very complex?????
If UK just one kind of passport, it's much more easier to elaborate!

I would recommend you seek the assistance of an immigration lawyer, if this is so important to you. Are you prepared to go to court over it?

Important: If there is any doubt about your English language ability, despite the evidence you may submit with your application, your case officer may ask you to undertake an International English Language Testing System test. Any waiver of the test is at the discretion of your case officer.

Old Australia immigration web site contain this wordings, but new web site no such wording, does it indicate there is no such discretion now?

Than just sit the bloody IELTS and stop whinging about it. Lots of people had to take the test and you have said that English is not your first language, so just do what you need to do.
