The Canberra Times have the astonishing news that the United Kingdom is closing their heavily trafficked Australian passport office and in future if you want a passport (and are already a UK citizen as many of us are) you’ll have to mail your details to Wellington.
Wellington in New Zealand.
Why even bother having a high commission if it’s not going to do basic consular service?
And why bother posting your life’s details across the Tasman instead of going direct to the home office in London?
