Doesn't it mean something in English for a subject
There is no specific Australian slang for language, other than "Lingo" perhaps. Australians sometimes refer to their own slang language as "Strine", being an extremely corrupted pronunciation of "Australian". "Strine" was once described by a very English Brit as "holding a cigarette between your lips and speaking while moving your lips as little as possible". Nobody but an Australian born and bred person who was brought up within the strict character defining and educational influences of Uncle Harry and Aunty Beryl from the family farm at Tangambalanga, would be able to speak Strine convincingly, or understand it well enough if listening to an expert.
