Also a pretty good female voice… wish I could pull that off.

It's pretty difficult for an Aussie to mimic a NZ'er or vice versa. The accents are too close. There's certain words/phonemes you have to include to highlight the difference. It was a bit of a caricature to my (British but lived in NZ 25 years) ears.
Almost a month old,
Ah, if he'd waited a bit he could have got the New Zealander talking about our 'horrendous' second wave. Yes: 1,714 and 730,330.
That is, respectively the total 'confirmed and probable' cases all-time to date; and the total tested all-time to date — for a population of ~5 million. (Deaths to date are, sadly, twenty-two.)

I guess he's too young to be doing an imitation of a Lily Tomlin imitation.
