It is Australian and was relatively popular some decades ago. Its fallen in popularity significantly though. I can't figure out if Australians are genuinely ignorant when they say they don't drink it and have never heard of it or if its a spontaneous, international gaslighting attempt by the entire Australian diaspora. The anger in their eyes when they assert that it was never popular makes me assume its the latter.

Aussie here. Fosters was just never a popular or well liked beer in Australia. People drank the preferred beers in whatever state they lived in. Or VB.

These days it's different, there's such a wide variety of beers now, craft and independent breweries etc. But the mainstream mass market beers are still popular state by state.
