Australian High Commission

Dreadful government department. Funny how the Australian people themselves are usually such a great bunch compared to this bunch of uncivil disservants from the same country.
They rejected an interdependency visa for my Australian partner and I after a year because we hadn’t lived together for 12 months. A simple phone call when we first sent in the application would have been good informing us of this instead of their vague criteria forms. Funny how I know Brits who have moved to Australia since the ‘Ten Pound Poms’ days and are now on the dole. Or how Western countries (Australia included) now seem to welcome with open arms cultures that are ultimately never going to be our friends. I suspect that migration to Australia, United States and United Kingdom is assisted to those who are assumed will vote for the major left-​wing party of that country.
Australia House London also tried (unsuccessfully) to sell me a six month tourist visa unneccesarily when I queried entry/​exit requirements for a world cruise from Australia.
I don’t think the Aussies without British passports are well treated here and I certainly like Australians as one has paid for fabulous holidays for me and bought me my flat.
But I would rather not get involved with Australia House, Prize Paper-​Pushers.
