One of many variations of the nickname 'brother'. Brother begat bro, which begat brougham. Brougham has been further modified to create such nicknames as broughamsky.
A brougham is typically one of your close-but-not-closest friends, or a friend of a friend. It can also be used in emergencies when you forget someone's name, e.g. dude, chief, etc.
Almost nobody who uses it knows that it's actually spelled brougham, or that a Brougham is a Cadillac.

Yet another example of the white fella's ability to make a random sound and turn it into a derogatory remark. Probably came about as an attempt to mimic one of the many Aboriginal languages (as in "chinese sounds like chingchogwaaafliedlice", "french sounds like ahahaweeweelebaggette",etc...).
Used throughout Australia, mostly by middle-aged to older/elderly Australians, in reference to any Aboriginal or Islander person; and occassionally in reference to other dark skinnned people (Maori, Fijian, Samoan, African) until the white speaker discovers that they aren't Aboriginal. Then they are immediately assumed to be a better class of non-white.
