For those who have an expired British Passport, however it still remains at the discretion of the airline.

If I had an expired British Passport I would no way be volunteering that at check in. I would hand over my valid Australian passport with the ETA in it and say nothing.
IME check-in staff always stuff it up even with valid multiple passports.

The official source for this (Home Office website) has been posted above.

But there’s nothing on the Qantas website stating their policy on this.

TIMATIC still mentions expired British passport (post 1989), but will be interesting to see if this updates tonight. It should be current given departing pax today for arrival tomorrow.

If you currently have an ETA that’s probably ok, but you can no longer truthfully obtain one if you don’t.
