Membership for UK residents always used to be very restrictive until the last big changes ... but as most of the QF FFs here probably have some sort of affiliation with Aus, it will probably only be a matter of changes their addresses back to a "friendly" Australian address which is no big issue.

My guess is that they're unlikely to get away with changing anything for Australian residents, because of their delicate regulatory position at the moment. In the last change they equalised the position of residents of all countries, so any anti-UK discrimination would quickly be seen for what it is. And I'll bet you that many UK-based members would then quickly flee back to Australia, where they originally "hailed from" for FF purposes.

Count me in as mostly from London. (Must hedge my bets in case there are changes.)
If QF really wants to stem the flow of UK-based (and probably US-based) FFs coming from the BA scheme so they can use the generous economy earning rules in the QF scheme, I hope it's limited to something like enforcing the 4-QF segments a year rule, or maybe upping it to minimum 100 status credits a year on QF or some such. Otherwise I'm emigrating again.

Perhaps cd really does know somebody on the inside...(QF that is, not the other!!!)
Now for their next premonition...
