Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

Housemate used the five days priority service a week ago and was notified it was ready for collection the next day.

Today I received an email to remind me that my AU passport expires in 6 months and encouraged me to renew.

I will wait as my UK passport has another 8 years to go so will make forthcoming trips using that passport at foreign points of entry. AU passports are so expensive need to get a full 10 years validity out of them.

You might not be able to enter Australia without an Australian passport, if that matters....

(without a valid visa in the UK passport they won't let you board, and as an AU citizen, you can't get a visa.... https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and...ssenger-movement/advance-passenger-processing)

That won't be my situation although apparently you can return to Australia using an expired passport.
