I would imagine that is because Australienii would mean the (all male) Australians or the (male & female) Australians. Whereas, Asutralienele would mean the (all female) Australians. Since both male and female austrialians speak english, strictly speaking this sentence should only use Australienii. But since Duo is trying to teach us a language, it wants us to know that when referring to 'The australians' either word can be used depending on context. Hence why it would accept both versions

It all depends on whether the sentence is intended to refer to Australians in general or a specific group of Australians.
