The misleading headline quote is contradicted by the article.
Yoona can’t become an Australian citizen without giving up her South Korean citizenship — something she isn’t willing to do.
She literally has a choice. She could choose to give up her SK citizenship. She could also choose not to travel at all. Those might have a lot of downsides, even worse than the $1475 fee, so she might be making the best possible choice for her, but it’s still a choice.
My “take” is that the misleading headline quote is misleading and clickbait and ABC should be better with their titles. They could have come up with many other better sentences - even using a phrase such as “extractive and exploitative” in the headline. How about something simple like “Visa fee for permanent residents raised to $1,475”

this is not a reasonable take when asking whether or not this fee is extractive and exploitative.
