I think you are on about something else? This would be like you having an Australian registered jet based and operated in Europe and having all the current Australian licenses to fly that jet IFR as well as a current Australian type rating on that jet.
EASA decided in their wisdom to stop you flying that Australian registered jet by saying NO you cannot unless you hold equivalent EASA licences.
You must hold those licences regardless of the fact that EASA licences have no bearing or validity on an Australian registered jet.
It is a long sour grapes war against mainly N reg jets which have been operating legally in Europe for longer than the EU has been in place.
Their Pilots correctly licensed and making an honest living from doing so for decades will be forced out of those jobs or made to spend a fortune in time and money getting a mass of useless licenses and exams to fly jose aircraft
Older pilots with only a few years left in their careers will be forced out by the fact that their earning capacity won't justify the costs of converting
EASA are supposed to be a SAFETY regulators but have been caught up in a political war against N reg jets by certain powerful pressure groups and individuals who have their own NON safety based agenda
Your question seems more about whether you can visit the UK and use your Australian licence to rent and fly a G reg aircraft and whether you can fly IFR in CAS with that Australian license in a G reg?
