thank you for that. what's the easiest way to get a new passport? do I need to book an interview with Australia post? immigration told me to go to local consulate, but consulate are no longer handling passport renewals. ive checked out the high commission in Wellington and they have a web page that indicates I need to go to Australia post. Immigration told me I cant do that unless im an Australian citizen. So i'm confused now, argh!

Hi Guys I'm a permanent UK resident in AUS. Can anyone please tell me the best thing to do if you lose your UK passport. Do I need to apply for a new permanent resident's visa (bloody hope not). I think the passport I lost was coming due for renewal. Also, if you leave the country with a UK passport on a permanent visa, I heard its difficult to get back in, or you need a re-entry visa, could anyone clarify these issues. Would be awesome. Thanks
