An overhaul of British immigration rules could end the traditional entry and settlement rights of Australians with British grandparents, a UK newspaper says.
The Times said that Britain's new points-based immigration system could end a scheme whereby Commonwealth citizens with a British grandparent are allowed to enter and settle in Britain.
People from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Zimbabwe are the most likely to be affected.
Immigration is a hot topic in Britain, with tabloid newspapers regularly labelling the government's immigration and asylum policy 'chaos'."
