    That’s not an excuse for deportation. He was ten months old when he immigrated. He is an Australian, and it’s sick and wrong that your government doesn’t recognize that.

        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.

      Sorry but he doesn’t have citizenship, so he isn’t Australian. Doesn’t matter if he migrated here when he was 1 day old.

      He hasn’t gotten citizenship, he’s a British citizenship by birth. Whilst in this case I would afford him empathy as he is on his way out, to others in a similar situation…too bad so sad, apply for a visa like every other non Australian or sell your assets and move back.
