The statement that is not true about Australia is:

"It is smaller than the continental United States in size, but has the same population."

This statement is false because Australia is not smaller than the continental United States; it is generally comparable in size but has a significantly smaller population. Australia has a population of around 26 million people, whereas the continental United States has a population of approximately 330 million people.
