Standards.
Even now, and after years of Messrs Blair and Brown, the average decent member of the population knows when things are not done properly, and will make a fuss about it.
I am afraid that, in Oz, general standards are so low that people honestly can't work out what you are complaining about. Hence the epithet "Whingeing Pom".
(It's been a bad day - just back from inspecting our new windows....)

UK has so much more than OZ IMO, but OZ is a new country compared to UK so i guess that can't be helped.
