The Times has learnt that record numbers of Antipodeans are leaving Britain and its economic gloom for better job opportunities - and nicer weather - back home.
According to the Australian Government’s Immigration Department, an average of 2,700 Australians are leaving each month, up from 1,750 a month in 2005. In the 12 months to June, 13,062 Australians applied for working holiday visas compared with more than 27,000 two years ago.
