If Antarctic territory was counted, then no country would be farther south than Australia, since its Antarctic territory stretches to the South Pole (putting it in a tie with Argentina, Chile, NZ, UK, France and Norway). Additionally, "by that reasoning" misses the point - this is not counting external territories, but only those that are an integral part of the country in question. By this measure Bishop and Clerk Islets - which are a part of the state of Tasmania - are inarguably a part of Australia, and place it definitively farther south than anywhere in New Zealand. Naturally this is counterintuitive since NZ's geographic centre and centre of population are far to the south of Australia's.
Why feel bad? Higher costs don't equate to it being expensive for us who live here. We get paid higher wages and have high quality infrastructure and health care so it evens itself out anyway.
They're federal external territories. The only sense in which they're "part of Tasmania" is that they're administered by the Antarctic Division, a federal agency which happens to be headquartered in Hobart.
No, Macquarie Island is legally an integral part of the state of Tasmania. Specifically, it is part of the Huon Valley Council. It has been a Tasmanian State Reserve since 1978. The Australian Antarctic Division has a base there, but does not 'adminster' the island has a whole.
