Australia is a country, NOT a continent. There is clearly a typo on this page. The official continent name is "Oceania", which includes Australia, New Zealand, and several other small countries. Your own Wikipedia page even talks about Oceania. I think it's important not to confuse viewers with conflicting information. Thanks. Wikifixa78 (talk) 03:10, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: not a typo. continental Australia is the continent (including parts of the sea located within the continental shelf) including New Guinea, country Australia, and Tasmania, which is located inside Oceania. Oceania meanwhile is a geographic region composed of continental Australia as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. 💜  melecie  talk - 03:45, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest adding the total size of Australia's claimed lands including the Australian Antarctic territory in brackets on the card on the right side of the page as showing the territory in light green and then not referencing it may make people think that the size listed is for the whole highlighted area and not just the mainland and larger islands.

 Not done .....Would need concessus to add area as New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, and Norway are the only ones to recognise Australia's claim to sovereignty in Antarctica.Moxy- 15:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the section "Biodiversity" I suggest to add the updated information on Australia announcing on 3 October 2022, a 10-year plan to prevent any more species from dying out in the country by protecting its most threatened plants and animals. The plan brings Australia into line with more than 100 other countries, including the United States, which have pledged to protect 30% of their land and 30% of their ocean by 2030.

i.e. change X = "There are more than 1,800 animals and plants on Australia's threatened species list, including more than 500 animals."

to Y = "There are more than 1,800 animals and plants on Australia's threatened species list, including more than 500 animals. On 3 October 2022, Australia announced a 10-year plan to prevent any more species from dying out in the country by protecting its most threatened plants and animals.

I don't know much about the European ways, but I'm pretty sure that HM is the monarch of the UK. Faithful15 (talk) 16:31, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
