I doub't we'll ever come back to the UK, and are planning a holiday next year in Aussie to see whether that would ever be an option in the future.
no problems Ricky, there are problems with abuse, i've seen enough of it myself, but you can't keep punishing the Brit and do nothing to the Europeans who come here.

as for the UK, we will be staying here, the cost for us is cheaper than anywhere else and we've got everything here.

Cant see anything inthe consultation or naturalisation rules that says you need ILR first? hehehe
they are proposed changes, and looking at the past changes i would have thought there would be a period of transition. so it probably will not effect your wife.
