No!!!!
'Ugg Australia' boots as marketed in the US are made in China for a company which has nothing to do with Australia. They managed to become a multi-million dollar operation because of aggressive marketing in the US. Worse still, they used a hoard of legal thugs to stop anyone in Australia from marketing goods under the Ugg brand name after they had registered the name in the US even though 'ugg' had been a term in generic useage here for decades.
If you want something genuinely Australian stick to RM Williams.

Years before teenage girls in miniskirts started wearing them, I bought several pairs and walk the dog in them. Actually, I'm wearing Uggs as I write this.

Yeah, what it says...
would you buy a pair?
Even if I were to undergo a sex-change operation, I wouldn't buy them.
I wouldn't even buy them for my girlfriend.
Jesus man, what's gotten into you? All that excel modeling screwed up your mind?

No! No! No!
I model them up as huge negative PV. They look sloppy and disgusting, you might as well wear balloons on your foot. I am not sure I would consider them even in the south/north pole . . .

i once was shown a pair of those by my wife and the first thing i exclaimed was , "..uggh.."
and she said, " how did you know?"
i would not get them myself personally . but i will personally give anyone here a hundred dollars if they wear a furry pair with a suit to a very important job interview.
