I have 10,000 constituents in my electorate that have been asking me about it. It was reported in one of the papers that it will take effect when it is passed through the Greek parliament. I suppose the question I have is: what happens if it does not get passed through the Greek parliament? Secondly, what will be Centrelink’s requirements of Australian citizens who left perhaps many years ago and who have absolutely no records? Some of them left the country after World War II and do not have birth certificates. Will there be any requirements upon them to prove that there are no entitlements that they can get, and where do they get this information when there is no record of them even existing in Greece many years ago?
