As noted it did change, on 4th April 2002. There are now *no*
restrictions on dual citizenship from an Australian point of view.
http://www.southern-cross-group.org has plenty of information.
Prior to 4th April 2002, there were still plenty of circumstances
where Australians could have dual citizenship. Acquisition at birth
was one example, as Stuart notes. Another was when migrants became
Australian citizens.
Further examples included acquistion of another citizenship during
childhood (provided parents did not lose Australian citizenship), or
acquistion of another country's citizenship while *inside* Australia
prior to 22 Nov 1984.
