Hakkos are the way to go... Great irons...

I've heard whispers that Jaycar will have a new soldering / desoldering station that was to be released in Australia last quarter, but it did not conform to Australian standards - it needed an isolation transformer to be sold here. It should be out before christmas and be around the $200 - $300 as a solder / desolder station.

I'm waiting for that to be released - I'm not sure if it is a re badged iron or not..
