It's not that bad. Being Australian myself, I usually hate Oz cinema as it always depicts Aussies as being these people who live out in bush-lands and have super thick accents, drink too much beer and eat nothing unless it's off a BBQ and seem to dwell in or around ugly tin sheds out in the middle of nowhere. Which this film was 100% guilty of.
To say it was boring? No... I watched it from start to finish and was not bored or restless, so it's watchable. However it needed to find it's balance... it either should have been even more gorier or funnier, as they comedy was typical stupid slapstick crap, which gets annoying after the first few jokes, or it could be a boring as *beep* film but when it comes to the gore it makes it a classic... aka Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead/Dead Alive"
However, when I say it's not that bad, I'm not saying it's great either. I thought it was OK to see once. But it's a film with no replay value, so I would never wanna own a copy... I gave it a 4/10. But some people love this kind of *beep* and will rate it and worship it more... especially idiots who think every-time a movie is made in Australia by Australian's that they did not make a movie, they made some sort of historical masterpeice of cinematic brilliance... probably the same idiots who watch the TV Week Logi Awards and fall for the *beep* hype that it's as popular as the Golden Globes LOL... no one outside of having something to do with the TV/Movie industries give a *beep*... oh and bored house wives who think what they read in Womens Weekly is considered to be "news" probably. So I'd say a lot of those 10 star reviews that aren't faked by the film makers themselves are probably just people who follow what they are told is trend rather than actually share in any interest to follow a genre and check out multiple titles rather than be a "Oh, I've never seen a scary movie, lets go watch Paranormal Activity.... oh my, that movie was SO scary..." because you've never seen a scary movie prior to it.
P.S I'm drunk, lol. I think i'm just ranting rather than contributing to the point :D
