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".

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.
