There is no place in Australia where Roebuck's voice would not be identified instantly as being NOT of Australian origin. JKL: youse all must just be utterly useless at accents.

Are Aussies really good at detecting all accents from across the world? I doubt it.

As for Roebuck, he's starting to get some Aussie vowel sounds and even more annoyingly he's doing that effing rising inflection at the end of his sentances that makes you think he's asking you a non-existant question.

That's, like, so gross?

He'll end up like Kylie on Neighbours? If he's not careful?

Didn't claim they are ... but if you think Roebuck could be mistaken for an Australian by an Australian ... think again. The Pom inflection is instantly identifiable. He may be trying to disguise it by adopting the Kylie Moron Valley Girl Rising Inflection Irritant inflection on top of it, but he's nowhere near losing the Upper Class Arrogant Gay Eton Refugee Pommy Twit inflection that sh!ts us all up the wall. So, as I said earlier, a qunt detested in both hemispheres. He can't even feign ignorance properly.

you don't like him?

astutely spotted

No flies on us Saffies

Roebuck. The Poms think he's a twat and the Aussies think he's a twat. You can chuck in the Saffies as well if you like.
