Ok, so what's the process to change the rules? Why doesn't industry push for this or is it because of a vested interest in keeping the status-quo?

UK to Australia is only an Air-law exam and flight-test, and same to most other places. Why isn't this recipical? Does the UK, and JAA in general, really think that making overseas qualified pilots re-sit all the exams again have any real merit, other than to line the theory school's pockets? Look at the rules for type ratings, what a joke. A guy with less than 500 hours on type has to re-do the rating in the UK to see if he's up to standard... your system is simply ridiculous.
