BREAKING: From today,
#Australia
will be referred to as ‘Up Top’ instead of ‘Down Under’ due to a switch of the Earth’s north and south poles at the end of the 500-year Sloof Lirpa cycle

From Birth, I always considered our land OZ as the

According to the programme I once heard on the BBC (in my yoof ) , on my globe of the world pencil sharpener I will not find Australia because it's right where the pencil goes in !

your Globe is obviously rounded & printed in a largish Asian Nation who at the moment dislikes OZ
So I would suggest you replace your

NAH - just put the hole in that large landmass further NW (when the poles are the right way up again), you know where they create devastating viruses
