Zero. Nothing. Non-existent. Antarctica is a UN protectorate.
The Australian claim covers roughly 5 896 500 sq km, or 2 276 651 sq miles. The Australian Antarctic Territory is made up of the islands and territory south of 60 degrees South and between 45 degrees East and 160 degrees east, excluding Adelie Land.
Under the Antarctic Treaty, which governs the planet earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude, no country can "own" any part of the Antarctic continent. Along with 47 other countries, Australia is a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty, and it is permitted to use the land it claims for scientific purposes, as long as they remain within the terms of the Antarctic Treaty. In some cases, these territories are also shared with other nations who do not have claims. Australia, for example, shares it territory with Russia, which has several research stations in the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Seven countries have officially claimed territory on Antarctica, and several of these countries formally recognise the other countries' claims, even though these claims are unofficial, under to the current terms of the Treaty.
