Just stumbled upon this thread from a couple of years back. Quite the debate you sparked here, mate! As to why someone might hold onto a British passport even if they see themselves as fully Aussie? I'd say it's about having that extra lifeline. You never know when you might need to pull a Houdini, right? Even though we're two years on, I reckon this conversation still holds water. The expat life's a funny old game, isn't it?
