Because they've been tagged boundary=administrative,
boundary_type=maritime, the around Australia it's just
boundary=maritime which doesn't render.

boundary=maritime isn't rendered, only boundary=administrative is, so
as long as they aren't boundary=administrative they won't render
simple as that :)

You mention debug purposes in your previous email, but you can see
