Australian nationality doesn't work like that. You are Australian AND Japanese as opposed to "half Australian and half Japanese".

Since Japanese nationality is based on Geneology though, I suppose from their perspective you'd be half Australian and half Japanese. Though the Japanese perspective can't accomodate the Australian one whereas the Australian perspective can accomodate the Japanese one.

(In other words, from the Australian perspective you are Australian because you have Australian citizenship and you are Japanese because you identify with your Japanese roots)
