Amazing when you consider that Australia is being flooded by poor, unemployable, Third World "assylum seekers".
Obviously the immigration laws only apply to "racist" white people - just like in America.

Actually I think you'll find that provided you didn't want to work it would be relatively easy for you to get residency. The restricion on older folk is really to try and prevent people coming here and going onto social security. I dare say I'd get the same bums rush if I tried to get a green card.
As for aud400,000 you might find something far north Queensland but it certainly wouldn't be ocean front although possibly near to the coast. USD400,00 might be more like it however.
