I've read that Australia objected too.  The Australian Hydrographic Office,
for what it's worth, says that Macquarie is in the Southern Ocean.  See:

If I had to do it over again I might put it in the Pacific, but
given that it's in a geographically ambiguous area I'm inclined
to leave it alone.  There is an advantage to not messing with the
identifiers.
