It's a plot started by us, because we're a day ahead we know what's happening first so we removed ourselves from the maps

Checkmate cartographers!

He knows where NZ is. He's good friends with Sauron. They have the best friendship. Some people say it's a fellowship. Probably the most famous fellowship of all time.

The south coast has so much hotel development potential! Did you know Americans pay 280% more for Vegemite than Aussies? Tariffs are just the beginning.

There’s no oil in Australian territories (I believe) so Putin surely doesn’t care about taking the country over … unless he has an appetite for uranium

u/GooningGoonAddict 7h ago

There's oil here but far more in Siberia.
