How long for citizenship?

I was talking to my frien in oz the other days and she said you now have to live in oz for 4 years to get citizenship. I thought it was 2. How long do you have to be there to qualify for cizizenship?

http://www.citizenship.gov.au has all the information you need.

It's 4 years, except for some persons who became PR before 1 July 2007.
