Antarctica is pretty much a barren ice wasteland and not capable of supporting a permanent population, there is also an international treaty that prohibits the permanent habitation of Antarctica by any country, thus it has no government or permanent population.

Australia, while being relatively sparsely populated by comparison to other countries therefore has a larger population.
