VerifiedHello
It would be very hard to have the children leave and go back to UK as they're now settled here.
Schooling, friends and other factors in their benefit to stay in Australia will be in your favor and thus I would say without hesitation that she will find it difficult to leave with them.
You have rights under the family law act for meaningful contact. You cannot have meaningful contact if they leave so it adds more to the argument to not have them leave.
Please accept.

She can argue that but your still the father, you have greater rights than her family.
She can apply under the Hauge, but again the argument should fail.
