Julia Gillard made a very famous speech in Parliament known as "the misogyny speech" which would be a good one to listen to if you want to hear her accent.
Yes! She has such a broad accent compared to most other Parliamentarians (at that time) and because she's emotional, you can really hear it. And it's worth hearing. Bloody good speech.
And if you want to look up another interesting accent in politics (but, depending on who you ask, at the other end of the respect scale), Pauline Hanson is an interesting one... "Please explain" - Watch a video of her, that will make sense. She was parodied in the Australian music scene in the 90s by "Pauline Pantsdown", but I think that might have ended in legal action... Not sure of the final result though! In fact - There are just some really good Australian politics videos on here, full stop. You'll get the accents AND some good content as well!
Wogs out of work were Greek comedians who took on the derogatory “wog” insult and made it a cool thing instead. The wog accent sounds similar but different when it come to Middle Eastern Australian accents .
So my parents were older Aussies. Mum was a 40s teenager, and dad was about a decade older. He and the late Queen Elizabeth II were born a few days apart. Their generation of Aussies spoke with a slightly more cultivated accent. So my general accent has a slightly English sound to it. But not as much as a certain gentleman with whom I share a strong attraction. He's got a fear to overcome before he can make his move. He's Liked (fancied) me since we were about 20. I just took time for me to feel the same way about him. He's a genius who's afraid of saying or doing something that could hurt me and then losing me. His parents are English expats with soft accents. He has a slightly more cultivated Aussie accent, than mine as a result. The way he talks to me, makes me melt. But we're both just working class Aussies.
I think most good Aussie actors do fairly convincing yank accents, which you would expect from people exposed to those accents from early childhood (think Sesame Street and all the US kids programming and movies they see). All the actors in this video certainly do. I think one stand-out convincing actor is Margot Robbie (Wolf of Wall St, Joker etc) whose Brooklyn accent even had the locals convinced!
WOG - Westernised Oriental Gentleman. I learnt that, years ago, from Neighbours, or Home and Away. But, my ex husband was 8 when he and his family came to Australia from Uruguay. They didn't have a WOG accent, their English was Aussie. I asked him about it once, and he said, they learnt English from the kids at school, but spoke Spanish at home. I hope this helps?! Cheers Australia.
Hahaha you need to watch Miriam Margolyes & Wil I Am on The Graham Norton Show, he says "like" all the time & she kept correcting him everytime he did it, he found it hard to speak without using it, those two were hilarious on that particular show.
Leave out the woman that says “so like” “but like” every 2 words Aussies don’t sound like her generally, she sounds as though she listens to or lives in America. She also has a hint of Kath and Kim Prue And Sue accent from try hard Melbourne. Eastern state accents, Melbourne and Sydney accents can be nasally especially country. Adelaide accents are more of a soft British accent, the posh example The “wog” accent sounds like South Pacific Islander and NZ Aussie too.
The accents of indigenous Australians can be difficult to understand, especially if they were brought up far from the city and amongst their own people. Sometimes they can differ far from standard English to having their own Creole which is still mostly English but can be difficult to understand if one was never exposed to that Creole or its particular grammar and syntax before. Also many words that they use could have come from their own local language or language group, of which there once was many hundreds of distinct languages, although many now have none or only a handful of living native speakers who are fluent in that language. Thus a knowledge of the Creole used in one part of Australia may not give one an immediate comprehension of the Creole in use in a different area far from the other.
I'm Australian and as much as you are mostly correct with what you've written, the one part that is incorrect is not understanding each other. We do have some words that differ but all in all we pretty much use the same slang.
You will hear the wog accent in Western Sydney. You won't hear it on the beaches (Sydney) The first guy is from Perth. Wog accent = Lebanese, Greek, Macedonian, Italian....), Cate Blanchett's is a cultivated Australian accent - you can hear it is stage quality. That is Steve Irwin, his kids watch the videos frequently to capture his language and keep it alive. Bindi & Robert are doing a great job!
One Aussie that does an American accent really well is Eric Bana. I think it's a bit wrong that they didn't cover the Indigenous Aussie accent. The true blue, Aussie outback Indigenous accent. My uncle & aunties, speak with an outback Indigenous accent. So I don't have any problem with Aussie accents. I had vocal lessons when I was young, as I had difficulties with my speech. I had trouble conjugating sentences, it was like I had vocal dyslexia, or hardcore speech impediment. So I was taught how to annunciate words & to properly conjugate sentences & phrases.
The first clip is infamous in Australia bc the guy is a massive bogan and speaks with a very broad accent 😊 Have seen the Australian lady hosting other vids on that Korean channel. She has quite an American inflection, so she's not always that easy to understand either 😅 BTW: there's an excellent video of former PM Julia Gillard excoriating her political opponent Tony Abbott in Parliament circa 2011. The fact that she speaks with a broad accent makes it better IMO 😁
Oh, is there a good Julia Gillard speech.. her world renowned 'misogyny' speech is a fantastic speech that's been used in a lot of different areas from academics, equality, and has even featured heavily in recent years among gen z throughout TikTok. The context behind the speech is also handy to know, just so that when you listen to the speech you have a clearer understanding of where this speech came from.
The perfect video for Julia Gillard’s accent is her 2012 reply to the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives on Misogny. There are even TikTok duets of people lip syncing to her speech.
'Wog" is actually borrowed from what was a polite English insult refering to to middle Eastern people. It stands for Western Oriental Gentleman. So politely offensive :)
In the early 70s, I lived in London for a couple of years, In my first year, I had no contact with other Australians, Heard from some friends who were in London and went to meet them at a pub they picked & when I walked in straight away the accents hit me "F" where are these people from then spotted my friends and soon realized what an Aussie accent sounded like, But what I notice these days young Australians living in cities have a different accent to decades ago, You get on a train just after 3pm and there a lot of school students on board and the difference in accent between Private School students & Public school students is amazing. Then go to an area where a lot of bogans live and a different accent again, Travel from Perth to Qld and you straight away hear a difference.
The people in your family can definitely influence the type of Aussie accent you have. For instance, that Mediterranean Aussie accent. I'm not comfortable saying that other word. The one that starts with a w was used in a derogatory way for a long time. Like that starts with an n, when referring to African Americans. That really upset some people when rappers started using it. I was my mum's little surprise package. She was 44 when I was born. As the youngest of 8 kids, with 6 girls, 2 boys, and 1 set of twins in the middle of the family. No, we're not Catholic. Mum had issues with medication, it effected her twice as much as it did with other people. Her doctor advised her not to take the pill. Dad refused to do anything. I continue my story in another comment.
Given the Australian Accent evolved from a mix of Scottish, Irish and English (a lot of hackney and cockney) accents, remember it was the persecuted groups in the UK that were sent to Australia on the prison ships, and as these persecuted groups mixed and their accents and slang mixed this is what formed the Australian ascents, so Matt, being a Scott yourself I would expect you to have no issues understanding any Aussie accents
When I began working with homeless men, I really struggled with some of the young blokes. They had almost a Col'n Carpenter way of speaking with all their words and sentences jammed together. I myself had a broad uneducated accent - even though I was tertiary educated and had adapted it a bit to fit in - but these guys floored me. Sometimes I had to ask them three times what they were saying. I guess it got easier over time.
If you want to hear ex prime minister Julia Gillard’s thick Aussie accent you can’t go past her “Misogyny Speech”. She rips a new hole for the leader of the opposition, brilliant 😉
One of the worst things about it is that parents are now doing it, too. They don't try and stop their kids from saying it all the time, but now they join in.
Yes! The horrible..like! Like! Thgat girl had an American accent with a spluttering of Australian.. i think that like! Like! Business was more American.. wasn't she annoying??
Aussies used to sound more English. Now - due to TV/movies I think - there is something of an American twang. The good thing about 'new Australians' is that after a generation they can laugh at their accents or culture - and also be proud of it.

It’s also interesting that Julia was born in Wales. Her accent has changed to be a bit more cultivated since she left politics.
YES!! Agreed!!! PLEASE review this!!! It's SO powerful!!

I love that speech and I'm glad it's recognised as one of the best speeches ever presented also.
"From like", "just like", "like", "like", "like".... As an Australian, the over use of "like" makes me cringe.
As an Aussie, it's really lovely to hear an Irish, Welsh and Scottish accent and also a northern English accent, sounds so charming.
Noel Ferrier had a great upper class English accent with an Aussie twist. 🇦🇺
Cultivated one is Cate Blanchett

It would be interesting to see how the younger generation had to talk without using the word "like"

Cate Blanchett nails any accent required of the character she's playing. Including region specific U.S. accents.

Yep Italian and Greek Australians sound very different to other Aussies.
I largely associate it with a Sydney accent.
And Lebanese Aussies also sound different.
If you want to hear strong Australian accents watch Last Stop Larrimah. Very interesting documentary about a murder in a tiny outback town.

An amazing speech and I can't believe she remembered such a long speech either.
@@goaway2803 It wasn't a speech, she just said it. People generally speak from the heart in Australia. Oratory powers were certainly her strong suit.

Also people that were referred to as W"s were not limited to Mediterranean. Europeans and Middle Eastern were also called this.

There are any number of American accents that even Americans can't understand. Never use Americans to judge accents.
