It seems logical to me; a longer registration is not likely to be a fly-by-night spammer. On the contrary, it indicates a long term view of one's business.
Is it more likely that search engines see a shorter registration when *coupled* with other spammy techniques as one more indication of spam, but do not factor in a positive for longer terms?
What do you think? Any evidence either way?

I have also heard this can help, but hopefully its not true. I am told here in Australia (by the my registrar) that its only possible to register a dot.com.au for 2 years, while dot.com's etc can be registered 10 years at a time???? (please do correct me if I'm wrong)
That would be a definate unfair advantage.
