No, it's not true, but the problem is with terminology.
A tourist visa is just that. There are 3 different tourist visas that give entry to people who want to visit Australia for between 3 and 12 months as tourists and give NO WORK PRIVILEGES of any kind. Anyone from any country can apply for a tourist visa though applicants from certain high risk (of overstaying) countries may need to meet special condifions before a visa is granted.

Australia has also entered into agreements with certain countries to allow young people between the ages of 18 and 30 to travel AND WORK with very few restrictions for up to 12 months. There are two such visas. The first is available for age qualified tertiary educated or enrolled applicants from Chile, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey and the US (completion of high school only required for the USA) - this is known as a Work and Holiday visa. The other is available for up to 24 months for age qualified applicants from Belgium, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan and United Kingdom - this is known as a Working Holiday visa. The Working Holiday visa is for 12 months initially and can be extended to 24 months if certain regional work conditions are met during the first 12 months of the visa.
