Julia Gillard does have a slightly more ocker accent than most urban Australians. Though not comical like the late Steve Irwin's back of Bourke ocker-fest.

When I'm in Australia I can easily adapt my speech to different regional Australian accents.

But the New Zealand accent is a complete puzzlement to me. At times I even have difficulty understanding people. Many Kiwis seem to swallow the end of words.
