"It is smaller than the continental United States in size, but has the same population." — not true.

Why: Australia is slightly larger in area than the contiguous (lower 48) United States, and its population (~25 million) is far smaller than the U.S. (~330 million). The other two statements (Australia lies entirely south of the equator, and it is the smallest continent) are correct.
