Australian's somewhat proudly consider themselves apathetic. They often don't have strong convictions and if they like something they don't think it through. When someone headbutted a former Australian Prime Minister, people generally thought it funny. To be fair most Australia thought it funny to call that Prime minister a cunt (The official reason given for the headbutt) even if they voted for his party. Jim Jefferies on the incident - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1759051187728612 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1759051187728612 Generally a physical attack on a ex-leader of the county would be considered serious and a danger to democracy. Here the Ex-Prime Minister's only media recourse was to say the guy was a bad headbutter, he really said this. (The attacker did eventually get 2 months prison) Overall if the apathy is good or bad is a hard call, it's somewhat anarchistic, but ironically gives those in power more control.
