No you don't. You need to have onward/return flights OR the ability to prove you have enough money to buy one. When I went backpacking over there I met several people who only had one-way flights.
Australia is nowhere near as paranoid about foreigners than the US is.
Maybe it was "paranoia", maybe not - immigration rules and strictness of their application change all the time - the story you heard last month could already be out of date.
