That strikes me more as a personal name - "Ozzy XYZ", short for Oswald XYZ.
Admittedly the popular name for "Australian male" _is_ Ocker, and I have very
little information on _that_ word. (For "Australian female" - Sheila, just
so you know <;)

Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?"
You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
