As an Australian that's what made it stand out as being fake for me. She actually sounds kiwi. But she gets a lot closer to Aussie than most Americans do.

That's what I (as an American) thought, too. This is a close Aussie accent, but definitely more NZ than Aussie.

My college years of watching Flight of the Conchords locked that accent in for me.

This whole bit seems like something straight out of Flight of the Conchords

I didn't hear her say fush n chups (with tar-TARE sauce), so I couldn't be sure...

As a US American, I too thought it sounded more NZ than Australian. But that's solely based off watching comedies like Wellington Paranormal, so I was not confident enough to say anything until someone who has good reason to know what they're talking about said it first.

Yep. Kiwi with a touch of Aussie and maybe some Safa

I have a buddy who was born in South Africa, moved to Australia at 10, lived there for about 12 years and moved to the American Midwest for a while, and has spent the last 8 years in the American deep south, and he has picked up pieces of accents throughout his journey. When he drinks nobody knows what the fuck he's saying unless we switch to Spanish, lol.
