Like it or not Australia has both an ethical and a legal obligation to assist citizens stranded overseas
The ones who live in Lebanon are not stranded - they live there ie permanent residents. Not people who live in Australia and are travelling

There are a lot of ex-pats around the world
Depends if they live abroad or if they are just on a time limited working contract abroad. However the Australian passport will always put the Govt in a political conundrum.

what I cannot understand is why Cyprus? L
That is the nearest safe harbour. They did it in 2006. Türkiye is the other.

I have known them to extend loans to facilitate services and repatriation
They tried that in 2006. Some paid others didnt. Eventually they cancelled the debts.
