I'm a little behind so this may have been addressed already, but as an expat
Aussie (who will be home for the ILCA in Sydney yippee!) I can't resist.

We have an expression at home "You've got Buckley's" meaning "you've got
buckley's chance" . It's used in the same way Americans might say "you've
got two chances - slim and none" we would say, "you've got two chances mate,
Buckley's and none"

It essentially mean very little chance.

You should see me trying to explain "crikey!" and "fair crack of the whip"
over here! LOL
