It's not exactly the same as idiot. It specifically implies that someone is gullible or easily taken advantage of. It certainly doesn't mean thug or anything like that.

Thats what I sound like ya Aussie bas-taaad

I made a few Aussie mates when I was out there, teaching them the ancestral lingo, they come up their thongs, "arvo barbies" and generally fail at deflecting convict jokes. Pommies do it better in everything except cricket and tanning.

mug is london slang probably cockney.
as it is used mostly by londoners and people from essex.
it means a stupid, gullible person. someone easily taken advantage of.
Being from Liverpool the term mug was always used meaning to treat someone . e.g. '' If I win on the bingo, I'll mug ya'' .. '' Are you gonna mug me to the pictures?'' '' I'll mug ya to a pint''
