The number of Britons emigrating Down Under has almost tripled in four years. Figures released by the Australian government show that 23,290 "settlers" made the move in 2005/06, the biggest annual total since the 1980s and more than 2½ times the 8,749 who went in 2001/02.

Attempting to explain the trend, a senior Australian politician said that crime levels, the terrorist threat and the housing market were all factors.
