For the first one, we cannot /represent/speak on their behalf/authorized to act on their behalf/ of people who have Cypriot citizenship, however live in Australia.Same applies to those who live in the occupied.
The RoC is RECOGNIZED to be the only legal Government for 3 reasons a) Because RoC includes the Kibrislis and has a constitution and the Kibrislis have their seats waiting for them, a Vice president etc etc etc. The RoC is NOT a Greek Cypriot government. So it's upto you to claim and get what belongs to you in the RoC.
b)because the occupied is considered internationally an illegal entity based on ethnic cleansing discrimination and stealing.
c)because the occupied are controlled by Turkey, and Turkey has all responsibility for whatever happens there.
The fact is that the RoC can pass laws that exclude those who live outside her territorial control from certain benefits mostly financial), without that being considered a discrimination. And this of course includes those living in the occupied.
You may say that's unfair for some, but like it or not the Kibrislis pay collectively for their crime of accepting by majority the rule of Turkey in the occupied.Because by majority they authorized Turkey to act and speak on their behalf!
