That’s even funnier when you know the Japanese army was already at its breaking point from the invasion of China. They might have been able to pull off an invasion of Australia since all the population is coastal and the British Navy was busy sinking the Italians but they were bleeding out before Pearl Harbor.
If they could establish a supply chain then taking control of the arable region of Western Australia would have been trivial, that’s my understanding anyway.
