As a general comment, I hear this 'low population density' about Australia a bunch. I wonder if its a fallacious argument for many business cases.

Contrary to the Crocodile Dundee image, Australia is one of the most urbanised nations in the world. We have almost 50% of the population in Sydney & Melbourne alone, and our top 10 cities takes this to almost 90%. While a big landmass you can reach a high proportion in relatively few spots. Assuming a business doesn't expect infrastructure/coverage for the entire population Australia not to bad density.

Obviously the general remoteness of Australia and 25m population remain big factors, and I suspect this is more relevant than the often cited density issue.
