It's not just Australia,
I can't get UK citizenship because it's my mothers family that is from the UK, not my fathers.
My grandad on my mother's side(her dad) and everyone before him were born in the UK.
But I don't qualify..... UNLESS, I was born after 1985.... then my mothers family does count.... ahhh, why 1985? Who knows!
My brother had no end of trouble, finally he was allowed an Ancestral Visa.
