I'd say the same for Australian as you do for Canadian police: mostly good but with a 'command attitude.' The general feeling here is that police spend too much time 'revenue raising' rather than policing crime the community actually cares about, like theft and violence. I think this would be solved with a dedicated force for less serious offenses and fines. I think the best system is the UK where most police have no weapons and little power, but can call for an armed response if necessary.
