Well if we re-surveyed Australia and discovered it was really much smaller that we thought, and also discovered some new continents only slightly smaller that Australia but bigger than Greenland, we might have to reconsider where to draw the line between the largest island and the smallest continent. Well that it what happened to Pluto. A new measurement showed it to be smaller than the Moon instead of bigger than Mercury, and we discovered several new asteroids orbiting even farther away from the Sun than Pluto but only slightly smaller than Pluto.

It's still a continent.
Pluto was downgraded by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). I don't think there a similar group of meshuge people for continents.

Australia is a vast terrritory large enough to be considered its own continent, which not only includes the contry, but new guinea and new zealand as well as other islands.

Give it about a hundred years and it will be all desert instead of part desert. Whether or not its a continent wont even matter.
