@NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net We've got similar rules in place for dual citizens: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/traveling-as-a-dual-citizen
So prior to this rule change, the only way these dual nationals could have done trips like this on a single passport would have been to use an Australian passport (since Australia cared and the UK didn't). With the rule change, they must have two passports.
It seems like a lot of the problems come down to the speed with which the rule change is being implemented.

@NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net And on re-reading the story, I realise I've misread Austria as Australia.

@jamesh@aus.social Yes - They can do whatever they want with their change, no big deal. But implementing it as a flag flip without a "soft" failure makes me giggle.
