I assume you mean Tasmania here.
From the linked paper:
> In the case of Tasmania, which may have been completely isolated from mainland Australia between the flooding of the Bass Strait, 9,000–12,000 years ago, and the European colonization of the island, starting in 1803 (ref. 13), the IA date for all living humans must fall before the start of isolation. However, the MRCA date would be unaffected, because today there are no remaining native Tasmanians without some European or mainland Australian ancestry.

Oddly, portions of mainland Australia may have been as genetically isolated from each other as Tasmania, once particular environments were settled (ocean, river, desert, etc) they appear to have remained stable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truganini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truganini day the Pintupi Nine entered the modern world https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30500591 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30500591 Aboriginal mitogenomes reveal 50,000 years of regionalism in Australia https://www.nature.com/articles/nature21416 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature21416
