strictly speaking he's a kiwi, but he's been working in Australia for decades so I guess that makes him an aussie.

NO, no and no. Always a bloody Kiwi. Saying that, I love them. They are everywhere here. They are kinda adopted as Aussies but they are deifnitely Kiwis.

And yeah, Australians overshare somewhat - as a generalisation, though. We're kinda friendly and our personal life can seep into professional life, which would be culturally different from some workplaces I imagine!
