There's some sort of government restriction on her getting Australian citizenship (I think she has to stay there a certain number of months in a year, which she can't since she travels so much). She's said Tennis Australia tried to help her but the government won't push it through. Apparently, she is/was allowed to play some tournaments for Australia with her current residency status last year.

Okay thanks. That's really strange that she was able to represent Australia for a temporary period of time last year, makes it incredibly confusing for me. It should be that she either gets to represent them or not.
