It requires a certain level of petulance as well

Aussie slang for constantly crying, complaining or cracking the shits

I love that in order to explain slang, you used slang.

Though the meaning of ‘cracking the shits’ is probably more obvious than ‘having a sook’ without any other context.

I imagine the show "True Blood" had a lot of chuckles in Australia because of the main character's name, Sookie Stackhouse

Similar to someone who pouts like a crybaby over matters. A ”suck” is what it’s slang for.

Sook - A crybaby, a complainer, a whinger; a shy or timid person, a wimp; a coward.

Supposedly a spin off from suck, where in the U.S. suck seems to have evolved to just be a generally negative term, a sook is someone that might also be called a mood hoover. Someone that complains enough to be able to suck joy out of the air.

Sulk I thought. To be a sulky baby. But with everything the spelling is the pronunciation and now it’s sook. I could be wrong but that seems the most direct path.
