As an Australian, I concurr. (/conquer)
From [info]dmmaus:

A fundamental difference between Australians and Americans, and one that will stand you in good stead in cross-cultural interchanges if you remember it:

  • Americans respect their government, but they do not trust it.
  • Australians trust their government, but they do not respect it.

Not ALL Australians either respect OR trust their government. I wouldn't trust our government as far as I could throw it.
