Sorry men.
And no offence to our western cousins.

Not Kiwi.
I know...but it hasn't always been Australian. It's actually a contraction of "God's Truth", and just last week I heard a gentleman in Powell & Pressberger's A Canterbury Tale, which was setin WWII era Kent, use the phrase.
So no offence meant to the Kiwis -- perhaps I should have said "I'm scunnered".
Hey no offence taken...
But tends to be a word used by the older gene of Aussies, and Kiwi's when we are trying to badly imitate the Aussie accent
Struth, cobber, digger, mate...(well, NZer's probably use the last one as much as Aus)
