antartica is almost twice the size of Australia, so even when the sea levels rise by 60 metres when the ice melts, the area freed up by the ice should go a long way to replace land inundated by the sea. Australia will do well if we can, keep our territory, huge deposits of gold, lithium and nickel likely in the orogeny that abutted the WA goldfields before the breakup of gondwana, one slight problem is china may want a slice of antartica to replace the North china plains agricultural production.
