@agrande di pa din ako sure eh.. Yup di pa expired tourist visa ko. Supposed to expire august this year. Pero may pr grant na recently, so i think it can be considered continuous na.. As per dibp website:
To satisfy the residence requirements you must:
have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying which must include the last 12 months as a permanent resident,
and
not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in total, in the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year immediately before applying.
Lawful residence means living in Australia on a valid Australian temporary or permanent visa.
Yung last sentence sabi should be on a valid Australian temporary or permanent visa. If bilangin from aug last year (exclude ko muna yung 2 weeks oz holiday last year nov) and big move ng may this year, dapat sa next 3 years, di na ako lumagpas ng 3 months ng wala sa Australia para magqualify for citizenship.. Assuming na hindi pa magbago rules by that time..
