Doh, so much for my hopes for a quick exchange of residence rights (called marriage)..

Loads of Aussies sort their UK or Irish passport via parent/s and if not and aiming at UK, they can get ancestry visa. It's been open to discussion whether they deserve it (oh, yeah, my grandpa was British.. thing).
One of my Kiwi colleagues is on ancestry visa too. Other on WHV.
If there's any Irish droplet in your blood and you can prove it, go for Irish passport right away. You don't need any qualifying period living there.

Good luck with paperwork. Home Office seem to up the fees for folks from outside EU frequently and by quite a lot. My UK residence is going to cost me GBP0.00 - Thank you EU. Citizenship not so, though.

are cabin crew highly skilled?
dime a dozen. Especially in the UK/EU. C'mon. Surely of value to aviation, but not pilots or engineers. And talking about Australia besides UK, being pilot isn't skilled. Trades, yes please.
