Yep - Border website is unchanged not surprisingly. Can't see the Liberals wanting to sing and dance about this. Nevertheless, we've started to put our online application online together now :-)

The senate disallowed the proposed changes.
Amusingly recent applications were (are?) being processed under the now disallowed changes.

I think what the OP is looking for is official (Australian Government) advice for prospective citizenship applicants.

Re: Citizenship applications - back to how it was?
Does anyone have any idea what "a requirement for applicants to demonstrate their integration into the Australian community" means?

Re: Citizenship applications - back to how it was?
Applicants will need to demonstrate their integration into the Australian community by providing, for example, documentation to the effect that people who can work are working, or are actively looking for work or seeking to educate themselves; that people are contributing to the community by being actively involved in community or voluntary organisations; that people are properly paying their taxes and ensuring their children are being educated. Applicants’ criminal records and adherence to social security laws are also relevant

On a thread related note, I feel for the people stuck with the DIBP's constant changing of the goalposts.
