The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is Oath, since "strewth" is a mild Australian oath. The wordplay reads "'s truth" (an abbreviated form of "it's truth", meaning "not a pretence") which, spoken in a broad Aussie accent ("would Aussie say"), sounds like STREWTH.
