It’s a combination of preciser than aussie normal diction and a broader vocabulary.

I put my preciser diction down to a vast amount of BBC comedy as a kid. Goodies, Ronnies, Good Life, Are you being served Etc etc Gets stronger with a couple of drinks, don’t always realise I’m doing it

I’ve always put it down to the same thing, but I now think an autistic tendency to avoid abbreviations and idioms could also be a part of it.

A definite possibility also
