Chances a US ex felon could get residency

I understand the need for immigration laws and restrictions but what chances or options would a ex felon have for living in Australia? It's been over 14 years and things are ok now but I'm afraid it could bar me from gaining permanent residence. I may not have issues just to come on vacation but what are your thoughts? How could I get through this mess as I no longer wanna be American.

It would depend on the offence you committed. It may well ban you from ever entering Australia. If you spent time in Jail this will prevent you from ever entering, even as a tourist.
I suggest you do an online search to find out more information. I speak from experience having a NZ friend who had spent 3 months in NZ jail and was not allowed to stay with me in Australia, he could only transit through the country and not clear customs and immigration.

You could check out the govt website www.immi.gov.au for visa information and applications.
