Australian speakers are likely to delete the /t/ sound at the end of words, just like speakers with an American accent. When the /t/ sound is deleted a glottal stop is inserted in its place. This can be a difficult feature to add for a non-native speaker.
This makes the /l/ sound like /ʊ/. The tendency for some /l/ sounds to become vowels is more common in South Australian English than that of other states. Milk, for example, in South Australia has a vocalised /l/, leading to the pronunciation [mɪʊ̯k], whereas in other states the /l/ is pronounced as a consonant.
In the case of Australian slang, words are clipped, and then a diminutive suffix is added to the clipped word. In this case, bikkie (the colloquial Australian word for a cookie), is clipped slang for biscuit (the British English word for a type of cookie), and it uses the -ie diminutive suffix.
