Changes

In recent years, there has been great tension between the Archdiocese and the current Ecumenical Patriarch, [[Bartholomew I (Archontonis) of Constantinople|Bartholomew I]] concerning the elevation of one of the [[auxiliary bishop]]s of Australia, [[Joseph (Harkiolakis) of New Zealand|Joseph]], to be the metropolitanate Greek Orthodox metropolitan of [[Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Zealand|New Zealand]]. While some letters were exchanged and published through the Archdiocese-owned Greek newspaper, ''To Vema'', the elevation of Metropolitan Joseph remains in effect and unchanged.
