Who else thinks the continent of Australia should be changed?

Künem K asked:


It’s rather misleading to consider Australia a continent of its own. If that were to be the case, what continent would New Zealand, Indonesia, and the numerous Polynesian Islands be considered a part of? Besides Indonesia, the other islands are clearly NOT part of Asia. So therefore, I propose that Australia and all these other countries be grouped into one continent: Oceania (the geographical term for these islands). Anyone care to comment?
