RE: Shirt blood
I'm afraid you are out of luck for finding any kind of blood that is guarenteed not to stain fabric, but for realistic stains on cloth add cocoa powder (not hot-cocoa, the stuff you use in baking) to your mix. When it dries it dries in a two part stain just like real blood with a dark centre surrounded by a lighter ring of red.

RE: Shirt blood
Just wreck a real shirt. If you can't find a shirt worth destroying... aren't there any places equivalent to a 99cent only store in Australia?

The fake blood with caro syroup and hot water, food colouring (lots of red, some yellow and green or blue) + the cocoa powder looked just fine the last time I tried it... if you add soap it won't stain all that bad (or so they say anyway). I seem to remeber that I got all of it off, just be patient.
I downloaded the fx-bible off of Nova Productions site. Its around 600+ pages long and really good. They had a blood recipe on there:
"Dark Blood
Needed:
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 3 or 4 tablespoon corn syrup
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red food coloring
• 2 drops yellow or green food coloring (optional)
Steps:
1. Mix the cocoa powder thoroughly into the water before adding the other ingredients - it may help to use warm water.
2. After adding the rest, blend the concoction well, and then wait for it to settle a bit.
3. Either skim the bubbles & chocolate scum off the top with the edge of a kleenex, or pour the mixture into another container. The longer it sits, the more the cocoa tends to settle to the bottom, which oddly mimicks the effect of real blood seperating.
Notes:
• This recipe splatters like real blood and , dries like real blood.
• If you splatter this mixture onto cloth, it makes neat two-part marks which dry into pretty convincing bloodstains.
"
you could give that one a go

Corn syrup & food coloring blood, when quite thick, won't stain that much, if it's cleaned up when still wet; corn syrup seems to cover the coloring particles, so it doesn't stick to everything, however, the more it is dissolved in water, the more the blood will stain. In "The Godfather", there's a scene when a guy in a white suit get his throat slit, and it bleeds all over him: There was only 2 white suits, and they retook the scene a few times, with the suit getting back into pristine white.
personnally, in a small play I did in which I play an SS-Tötenkopf Haumptsturmführer, i'm shot to the heart wearing a white shirt under my nazi jacket; the shirt was soaked in blood, but came out as good as new of the washer. so yeah, if you don't want to ruin your clothing, good ol' karo blood might do the trick.
