Cloverfdx (or any other Aussie's) What does "Bob's your uncle" mean?

I was just watching a TV show where the host said something like, "Quicker than you can say Bob's your uncle"..... something something something (I didn't catch the rest of it because I was too busy trying to figure out who Bob was).

In 1877, British Prime Minister, Robert Cecil,
appointed his nephew as Minister for Ireland.
The press had a field day when he referred to
the Prime Minister as “Uncle Bob”. That’s how
“Bob’s Your Uncle” became a popular phrase
applied to sum up any positive situation.
