Once in Aus we will do our own local travel.

PER-AKL (stop)

AKL-LAX-YYC.

A couple of points, I have had to chose PER as the POT as it increases the MPM enough to allow the routing I want to take (I hope). That is a nuisance as it means internally we have to fly PER-SYD-BNE and back. If I make SYD the POT then the MPM is exceeded (I think).

MPM to PER is 12642 (5% incl)
MPM to SYD is 10326 (5% incl)

YYC-LAX-NRT-SIN-SYD and YYC-JFK-FRA-SIN-SYD are SQ published routings. Should be doable. JFK-FRA-SIN is SQ 388, available in J for redemption. SIN-SYD new J available too.

If you have no luck with the "published routing" argument, you can always book JFK-FRA-SIN-SYD-AKL-LAX-YYC, and just buy a one-way YYC-JFK. It will be cheaper than buying tickets in Australia.
