大原则是在明年一月份国会审理批准之前，已满足两年要求并提出申请的（不论审批结果出来与否），都按两年算。但这之后，就是三年了。详情见下网页。（其中的内容已经引用如下）。并不是当时大家所讨论的，在法律出台前是PR的就不受影响。

Transitional arrangements from the 1948 Act to the 2005 Act
[color=]Questions about Transitional arrangements
[color=]I became a citizen under the Australian Citizenship Act 1948. Am I still a citizen?
Yes. The Australian Citizenship (Transitional and Consequential) Bill 2005 specifically states that a person who is an Australian citizen under the 1948 Act is taken to be a citizen under the new Act.
[color=]I applied to become a citizen under the Australian Citizenship Act 1948. What happens to me?
If your application was approved prior to the commencement of the new Act you would have been assessed against the 1948 Act.
If not, the new Act will apply except for the residence requirement - in other words you will have to have been in Australia for at least 2 of the 5 years before applying.
[color=]I applied to become a citizen under Australian Citizenship Act 1948. My application was approved but I have not yet made the pledge. What happens to me?
Your approval to become a citizen is not affected. As was the case before the changes, you will be required to attend a citizenship ceremony and make the pledge of commitment in order to become an Australian citizen. The formalities concerning the ceremony are the same under the new Act as the 1948 Act.
If you have already been advised of your ceremony from the Department or your Local Government you should attend as per the advice. If you have not already been advised you should wait for such advice - it can take a few months.
[color=]If I put in an application before the new Act commences and at the time I met the existing 2 year requirement, will I have to meet the 3 year requirement?
No, you won't. Persons who had met the 2 year residence requirement and lodged an application before the new Act commences will be assessed against the 2 in 5 year residence requirement.
[color=]When will the changes take effect?
The date of commencement will be finalised when the legislation is passed by the Parliament.
