I have dual citizenship, with Australia and Tasmania

You can only get dual citizenship if your dads parents where still European Citizens when he was born, which entitles him to it and entitles you. Thats how i managed to get my dual citizenship and as an Italian you get a European passport which is Efing sweet!

Condition 3 should apply to you, as long as your Grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of your Father's birth and neither you, your Father or Grandfather have renounced citizenship, then you may be eligible.

I would talk to DFAT and the Italian embassy, between the two of them you should be able to sort it out.

i'll be doing this also when i want to back to europe, no working visa fo rme

Call up the Italian Consulate, they'll be able to answer any questions you have. Really should organise mine at some stage too.

hey guys... if i was born in australia does that mean i automatically renounced my italian citizenship?.. i been researching for ages with no avail?...

it states that as long as your Grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of your Father's birth and neither you, your Father or Grandfather have renounced citizenship, then you may be eligible..

i asked my old man and he said he hasnt to his knowledge... and im yet to talk to my grandfather about it... but yeh does it mean i automatically renounced it?.. cause some countrys do that.. just not sure if oz is 1 of em

both of them were, but my dads parents where still Italian Citizens when he was born so i could get dual Citizenship.

No. You renounce your citizenship when you become a citizen of another country, therefore if your Grandfather or Father have become Australian citizens during a citizenship ceremony then you will not be able to have dual citizenship.
