The Australian population is rising quite rapidly due to immigration, and
would be rising even more rapidly if the government didn't try so hard to
keep them out.

The islands aren't sinking. The ones with the worst erosion could be
controlled if someone had the resources. There has been some interesting
research concerning ways of stimulating development of marine life, one I
heard of was dumping iron oxide into the sea. Maybe if a group of people
took over an island, imported iron oxide etc to stimulate reef development
and parked some old ships on the sea floor just off the cost then things
would improve.

The adverts for Bacardi Rum shown on Australian TV refer to Australia as "the
world's largest island". Presumably Bacardi did their research and found
that no significant numbers of potential customers get offended by such
things.
