The Australian equivalent of American "jelly" (the smooth, fruit-juice-based spread) is typically called jam or sometimes fruit spread, while what Americans call "jelly," they call Aeroplane Jelly or simply jelly (like Jell-O), but Aussies use it in desserts, not usually on sandwiches. Australians prefer chunky fruit preserves (jam) for their peanut butter and "jam" sandwiches, as the smooth jelly texture isn't as common in that context.
In Australia, "jelly" refers to the wobbly, fruit-flavoured dessert made from gelatin or agar-agar, similar to what Americans call "Jell-O," while the sweet fruit spread for toast is called "jam," not jelly.

Colloquially, though, people in the US often use "jelly" to refer to any sweet fruit-based spread, including jam and preserves, so a "peanut butter and jelly" sandwich will often actually be made with jam, not with (American) jelly.
But generally the distinction is not made here. Some people call both spreadables jelly, and some call both jam. One or the other would be used for the sandwich. It is my understanding that UK folks don't really like peanut butter?
"Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, Oi Oi Oi" (often written as "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi") is a patriotic Australian sports chant, a rallying cry of national pride, originating from older British cheers like "Oggy Oggy Oggy," with "Aussie" being slang for Australian, and "Oi" functioning as an emphatic interjection, similar to "Hey!" or "Go!".
