Yes and no.
There is no official language for Australia: English is the default language throughout the country. However, Australians have developed and adapted a number of interesting slang terms which truly leave some overseas visitors completely baffled as to their meaning. Some of these words are derived from Australian aboriginal dialects, and some of them have simply developed from the wide mix of local English and Irish dialects which came with the early convicts.

Why were Australians rude to Chinese?
It would be best to make such broad generalisations as there are Australians who are rude and there are those who are not. Presumably this question is in reference to how the Chinese were treated by the Australian miners during the goldrushes. During the gold rushes, the Chinese kept to themselves, and the Australians did not understand them at all. They were shunned by Australians because the Chinese were much harder-working, and subsequently tended to find more gold. They were resented for this, and for the fact that Australians just did not understand their language. Australians tended to regard the Chinese as secretive, and therefore a threat. The Chinese often sent the gold they found back to their own country, and Australians did not appreciate the wealth being sent out of their own country. For this reason, groups of Australians would sometimes turn on the Chinese, injuring and even killing them. The Chinese were subjected to being scalped, and their possessions wrecked or looted.
