Who cares.
I hold nothing against her that she cannot properly emulate that foul accent of former rapists, pick-pockets, swindlers, and diaper merchants. Just means she's more cultured. Her clean bloodline simply won't allow her mouth to speak in such a way. It's a blessing, actually. -

It really gets on my nerves when someone goes for an Aussie accent and butchers it. I wanna jump at em and strangle them! (lol) Is that too harsh? (lol)

Ah, yes, the fake Boston accent. I love it, but I do a fake New Hampshire. It's just cooler; you're not pretending to be a Kennedy. To become an Instant Emmett (N.H. native), just drop your "r's," talk as if your nose is plugged with wax, and throw in the intensifier "wicked" instead of "really" or "real." I used to practice by saying the sentence, "Those boys at Dartmouth are wicked smart." Obviously, in New Hampshire, you don't "park your car in Harvard Yard." It's also good to be aware of how strange "Mainers" sound to the Emmett. Mainers are said to sound more strident, although that's like saying Japanese is more guttural-sounding than German. Avoiding the particulars of the seemingly identical Maine accent is the key to true success here.
Goodness, what a bunch of potentia1c84lly offensive, useless crap I just wrote! -

lol her ep is on right now here in Oz.
And I totally agree. -It's one bad accent. -Very unbelieveable!
An Aussie accent is pretty much impossible to pull off well. I have yet to see a non-aussie to a good one!
