Yes you do. If you try to enter on your EU passport your visa won't be valid as citizenship cancels it out. Some people have done it just carrying citizenship certificate but sounds like hassle to me for the sake of getting a passport.

You can get an Australian Declaratory Visa Subclass 998 but I think it costs more than a straight forward Australian passport.

I nearly got one as I had to travel soon after my ceremony, but luckily in time my Aussie passport came.

Soapy's wife, and Moneypenny, have both re-entered just on citizenship certificates. If you don't have time to get it they aren't quite so "off" about it, but if you have had time to apply and get the Aussie one you won't be popular! You need to allow a lot of extra time when checking in, because without a visa or an Aussie passport the check in staff may need to check with DIAC that you are OK to travel. If they allow you to board without checking they are putting the airline at risk of being fined if Australia won't accept you.

Only if one country passed a law revoking the citizenship of anyone holding the citizenship of another country.

When you consider that many people hold a foreign nationality without being aware of that fact, that would be an extreme measure that would never happen in a free society. (Zimbabwe is the only known example).

The main advantages of keeping a British passport are:

1. If you need to live in the UK in future, your passport is immediately available.

2. If you let it expire for too long, you need to make a "first time" passport application with full proof of ID, citizenship etc. That can take months to process.

3. Some countries (eg Brazil) require visas from Australians, but not British citizens.

4. If you need to send a passport away for a visa you can send your British passport.
