Can't it be considered as both a country and a continent? I've been thinking about Australia that way... Hope I haven't been wrong all these years!

Country? Continent? Unimportant. We need to focus on the fact that, Australia is the biggest fucking death trap ever. 90% of the wildlife wants to kill you and 80% will do it painfully and in fucked up ways. I say we evacuate the people and nuke the thing.

It's a country. There isn't actually a strict definition of what the continents are. Australia is considered one when it encompasses Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Malay Archipelago, which also happens to be exactly what Oceania is as well.
That aside, some consider Australia a continent while others do not. Some also combine North America and South America into the American continent, Europe and Asia into the Eurasian Continent, Africa, Europe and Asia into the Africa-Eurasia continent, and some exclude Antarctica altogether. It's more based on convenience than anything. As far as I know, there is no definitive list of continents in the world.
