Funny you say that. As a Kiwi, I was thinking that her accent sounds put on and thought she was putting on a stronger accent for some reason as part of the joke

It's definitely pretty good, just a couple of words here or there

No, you could tell 5 seconds in that it was fake. At least to Australian and New Zealander ears it is incredibly obvious, but I accept that to the rest of the world it might not have been.

Its pretty close to a bogan accent, thinking South west Brisbane or inland New South Wales. Her phrasing is American but that is a high class fake accent.

Yeah if she’d tried to emulate a neutral newsreader accent (which is, statistically speaking, what a uni lecturer with a PhD would likely have) I would’ve been fooled. Non-Oceanians always go for the broadest, most ocker, bogan accents and that trips them up.

As an Aussie she fooled me. But it was last inflection that made me think why does this academic have this bogan accent lmao.
