It's certainly entertaining, though I don't think the author can have been

One of the funniest Ozisms I ever heard (I can't remember where, probably a comedy programme) went something like this.
Scene: 2 mates blowing some froth next to the barbie. Bruce's sheila's been having a few gynie problems.
Bruce (for it is he): so where's Norlene, mate? Bruce (another one): ah, she's just gone down the hozzie for a hizzie.
