Well Most  agree with but there is a consitency of saying that Australia would be underwater.. This is infact false, Watching many different documentaries and studying my own country in university. Scientists over the globe have given evidence to prove that the most of the coast would infact be underwater but they only think to the extent of a few kilometres. Yes Australia has a large costal population but with water only flooding in 5-10km at most and residential areas spanning heavily populated 50-100km inland. Plenty of Australia would survive the country is high above sea level as is New Zealand.. But the west part of Australia would flood.. There is something a fairway inland on the east cost called the Great Divideing Range which is a mountain range spanning from the north coast very close to the south coast.. There is plenty of evidence that shows past this mountain range to the west Australia millions of years ago was infact apart of the indian ocean the only three places high enough to survive is Perth, Broome and Darwin...

So all in all Australia's eastern coast (Which has over 3/4 of the population) And New Zealand would be fine
