ORIGINAL POSTER

Just wondering why Australia is one of the few countries that won't let you do the TR visa online? 

Anyone heard any plans of that changing?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Australian TR visa application is not fully available online due to consulate regulations that retain control in the process. There is speculation about potential changes, but no official announcements have been made. Some users have noted the possibility of an online application in Sydney, although a passport still needs to be sent after pre-approval.

Australian consulates make a lot of their own rules. They probably don't want to give up any of their power in the process.
