The short answer to your question is the
size of the community is important. Because
Australians have a smaller and more diverse
community they rely on each other more. This
places a limit on how badly we treat each other.
Unfortunately, as the community changes, so does
the limit.

One of the really big positives in all of this
is that because of the net, the effects of
treating people badly are fed back to the
perpertrators. It's difficult to have progress
without communication.

One of the things I find amazing about the US
is the way companies which act like bullies are
put on pedestals. In Australia, we tend to get
really stuck into our monpolies if they get out
of line (Telstra for example). Although strangely
enough we don't treat American companies the same
way (although we desperately need to).
