Earning citizenship is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, and this man was never given a meaningful choice in whether to live in Australia. Citizenship should be automatic in cases like his.

Citizenship is cheap as chips, my partner went through the process in a matter of months once she had met the requirements.

It was the visas that were expensive especially after the Liberals jacked up the price for a partnership visa.
