hahah Gronkpan is originally from Tasmania

inhabitants of Tasmania are occasionally referred to as 'apple eaters' see also 'Tasmaniac'

Just like people from Queensland are called 'Banana-Benders'

And I dunno if or why Rap is famous, Gronky started that one...

AH YA FLAMAN SEPPO GALAH!!

...we don't like to talk about Tasmania but it's the sortof island lump on the bottom of Australia. We race boats to it. That's all it's good for!

THREE POINTS:

POINT ONE: I WASN'T BORN IN TASMANIA

POINT TWO: IT'S TASWEGIAN, NOT TASMANIAC. I HAVE NEVER HEARD TASMANIAC BEFORE.

POINT THREE: RAPITINUI WAS ALWAYS FAMOUS BUT HE'S ON TOUR AT THE MOMENT. HE COMES TO B3TA TO GET AWAY FROM THAT STUFF SO DON'T BRING IT UP WITH HIM.

POINT ONE: OK...YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING NOW!!

POINT TWO: OLD MAN ALWAYS REFERRED TO PEOPLE FROM TASMANIA AS TASMANIACS CLAIMING IT WAS FAIRLY COMMON, SO COMMON THAT PEOPLE FROM BALMAIN BECAME BALMANIACS!

POINT THREE: OK DON'T BRING UP STUFF OVER RAPITINUI!

POINT FOUR:

I don't think "banana benders" or "apple eaters" are a part of our modern vernacular.
