Morphology

kangaroo + fucker

The phrase transparently combines 'kangaroo' (an animal strongly associated with Australia) with the vulgar insult 'fucker', so a learner who knows both words can infer it is an insulting label aimed at someone linked to kangaroos/Australia. However, the pragmatic nuance (jocular, self-deprecating use and the specific national-stereotype meaning) and acceptability are culturally mediated and not fully predictable, so full understanding requires extra exposure.

Etymology

Kangaroo fucker is a crude, rude insult that comes from joining kangaroo, the animal used as a symbol of Australia, with the crude word fucker to shock people. People use it jokingly or to insult someone 'from Australia' or pretending to be Australian, so the phrase means a rude way to call someone Australian.
