Australians would find it easier and cheaper to live and work in Britain under proposals in a new report backed by London mayor Boris Johnson.
Mr Johnson said he hoped the scheme would reverse the dramatic drop in Australian migration to Britain from 40,000 in 1999 to 26,000 in 2011.

Mr Johnson was due to launch the report, How to Solve a Problem Like a Visa, in the British Parliament on Monday morning.

He - and the report - propose a "bilateral mobility zone" agreement between Australia and Britain, modelled on the trans-Tasman agreement between Australia and New Zealand.
Any Australian or New Zealander who wanted to travel to, live and work in Britainwould get a free visa although they would not get immediate access to welfare support.
The same would apply for British citizens who wanted to work in Australia.
"Extra Brits would never be seen as alien," the report predicted.
