Issues concerning the Greek community in Australia and specifically the Greek government’s upcoming regulation which will legislate the right of Greeks abroad to vote in Greek elections from their place of residence, were discussed by Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos and the President of the Greek Community of Melbourne, Vasilis Papastergiadis, on Saturday. 

Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos said he expects "the provision in the upcoming new electoral law regarding the voting rights of Greeks who live abroad to be approved with 300 votes," in a Sunday newspaper To Vima interview.
