America certainly has an accent. As far as I acn tell, there is the one normal accent (that encompasses Canada) and the other accent, which the Southern one.
Hey! American and Canadian accents (and phrases) are pretty different. Actually, there are a lot of jokes about the Canadian accent, and some Americans even find it insulting to be called Canadian.

So let me sum it up.

There's a Canadian accent, a 'normal' American accent, A Boston and New York accent (yeah that's right, accents indigenous to single cities), and the Southern accent (which I hate).

As for the difference between Australian and New Zealandic (is that a word?) accents, the difference is probably about as subtle as Canadian to American is to you guys.
