Australians tend not to suffer fools gladly. We can be blunt and tell it like it is, and we're often pretty irreverent when it comes to authority etc. There was a video going round recently of someone yelling at the Prime Minister to get off his lawn during a press conference, lol. And the PM was like, yeah, he's right, we should get off his lawn. I can't imagine that happening in many countries around the world.

But I'd say a lot of Australians are more community minded than those in some other western countries - definitely WAY more than the US, for example. So we do actually give half a shit about the people around us, sometimes.
