Australia = Land of Oz
Wizard of Oz - Yay! I love anytime The Wizard of Oz is mentioned!
From everything I've read on Risk strategies Australia is NOT the key to the whole game. So could Australia represent something else? Could Australia represent Aaron? Aaron is the key to the whole game?

CLAIRE: Last week. Is that why you didn't want to do my reading last time?
MALKIN: No, I saw something, sort of a blurry thing.
CLAIRE: And, blurry's bad?
MALKIN: Blurry's bad. That's why I stopped the reading. Are you sure you want to go on now?
CLAIRE: Yeah, yes, please.
MALKIN: I can tell you, this is important.
CLAIRE: Okay.
MALKIN: It is crucial that you, yourself, raise this child.

Is the blurry thing the Smoke Monster?
Quote:
CLAIRE: You spent the last 4 months telling me I have to raise the baby myself. Now you're giving me money and saying I don't have to?
MALKIN: I found a couple in Los Angeles who are very eager to adopt. The baby will be safe in their care. Now, I've foreseen. . .
CLAIRE: Heh, Foreseen? I don't even know why I'm here. I'm sorry.
MALKIN: I know this sounds ridiculous, Claire. All this psychic business, and I appreciate that you must think I'm a raving madman. But this is what must happen.
CLAIRE: So you're giving me 6000 dollars to give my baby to a couple of strangers in Los Angeles?
MALKIN: 12,000. The other 6 when you arrive in Los Angeles. And they're not strangers, Claire. They're good people.

In regards to the highlighted line - I know Claire and Malkin are talking about money, but in light of what we now know - Other 6 (O6) in Los Angeles who won't be strangers - Kate, Jack, Sun, Hurley, Jin, Aaron, and Claire - they are good people. Maybe they will help protect Aaron.
BTW - I hope Claire doesn't end up being the Wicked Witch of the East.
