''as general australian english as spoken by cate blanchett, hugh jackman often mistaken by americans as British''

but no one uses this accent in real life.
real Australian English is more Cockney-sounding.

It is the norm in metro areas.

Well, any sports newcaster from an Aussie TV sounds Cockney to me.
End of story! I like Australians singing in American English, like Gina G or Dannii Minogue.

Have to go with Australian.
I think the accent goes beyond "low class". Just my opinion.

Not all Australians sound lower class. Have you ever heard the Australian prime minister John Barrow talk?
