Without looking it up, I'd say about 22 million.

2010 estimate - 22,394,195

Is it true that Australia is full of descendants from European Convicts, sexy vietnamese women, and people deserting their country during WW II?

Australia was originally settled as a place to send all of the convicts, but not everyone is a descendant of those people. They were mostly male. Australia is a very multicultural place, so there's people here from all sorts of places.
