Our High Commissioner George Brandis warmly welcomes the #Budget2018 announcement by @hmtreasury @PhilipHammondUK that Aussie passport holders will soon be able to use UK ePassport gates - we've been working towards this for some time so it is great to see it announced. pic.twitter.com/o6Ivj5dfct

  Finally! Nice change from being interrogated every time I go to the UK as though I am an illegal - security seem to forget most illegal immigrants in Australia are from the UK

  Excellent news, is there a start date proposed for this as yet?

  Isn't part of the joy of visiting the UK is to meet and greet the lovely passport control officers with their permanent scowl? Reminds me why being back home is a bit nicer. #expome

  After standing in a queue for over 1 hour with other foreign tourists Even though we are part of the Commonwealth I vowed to never go back to experience that treatment again. Worst immigration entry I have ever seen.

  I live in the UK with an indefinite leave to remain id card. Will I be able to still use this? I'm seriously considering getting my UK citizenship so I don't have to keep doing this. When I travel with my English family they've waited for up to 3 hours.
