    you will find older people have stronger Australian accents, younger people are losing it. because of the American influence on everything they see and hear.

    different states use different words for some objects such as one state says suit case, another will call it a port.

    Maori is a language of it's own, but New Zealanders have their own accent with words pronounced slightly different than Australians.

    In Australia it's international English. Plus foreign languages. Australian accents are now rare in Australia.
