Maybe all of them are in Australia in the first place

This theory falls on its face the moment you realise most actors can’t do an Aussie accent to save their life.

Of course they can’t do an Australian accent: it’s not a real accent because Australia isn’t real.

So what’s going on when you hear a “real” Aussie accent?
I guess if they hired every single actor in the world that can do the accent, that would explain why none of the rest of them can’t do it.

Just to play devils advocate… If Australia wasn’t real, then there isn’t an aussie accent to botch.

It’s complicated. They seeded an entire continent they call “Australian” a little over 200 years ago by genociding the natives. They let that stew in relative isolation and develop its own unique way of talking, and now when an Australian’s native accent is attempted by those not born here it’s extremely difficult for them due to said relative isolation.
Now, this sounds like I’m describing a real country, but it’s a conspiracy somehow.

Bullshit.
You can’t trick me, it’s obvious these blokes are just taking the piss. As if any country of people sound like that.

If you’re not born here it’s hard to tell, but if you’re familiar then there are some clear tells that these people are not actually Australian.
