Australian voices really aren't what they used to be. Linguists and ABC presenters weigh in on the changes to Aussie voices and the death of the ABC accent.

        “Churchy sounding” to the rest of the country.

      You also pronounce the popular plastic building toy as “Laygo” so that nullifies any authority you may claim about correct pronunciation.
