There would be no new largest island. Australia is a continent, and not an island. It is sometimes referred to as an "island continent" because it is surrounded by water, but geologically and geographically speaking, it is a continent.
Therefore, the same island that is the largest now - Greenland - would still be the largest island.
The largest islands are the following:
1. Greenland: 2,130,800 square km
2. New Guinea: 785,753 sq km
3. Borneo 748,168 sq km
4. Madagascar 587,713 sq km
5. Baffin Island 507,451 sq km
