Default Lemon pest/disease

Hello,

I just moved into a new flat in Canberra, Australia. There's a lemon
tree in the garden, which is nice, but it's not in the best of health.
Alot of the leafs look chlorotic. Some have brown patches and holes.
Some of the fruit has whiteish stuff on it. I've seen a couple of
white fly type things as well. I sprayed with a pymethrin/oil mixture
to get rid of any insects. I was just wondering whether there maybe a
fungal or bacterial problem as well that may need attention. Here's a
link to some typical leafs and fruit from the tree. Any help would be
appreciated.

Cheers
