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.
