Nyazilluners could speak English pretty well if they could pronounce more than one different vowel in any one sentence.
That monovowel thing is their downfall.
The Strines have a slightly different problem. They can can stretch to two, maybe three, vowels, but they have to share a communal total IQ of 100 across thousands of miles.

Dear Puzzled,
This was the original headline in the article:
Department of Conversation investigating after dolphin found beheaded on South Auckland beach
The misspelling has subsequently been corrected.
