What kind of company were you working for? I've lived and worked in Melbourne my whole life and complacency is not a cultural attitude of the location, but of specific companies.

Agreed - I work in Australia and I've worked with a lot of complacent people but a lot of very good people too. I thought the complacent people was just Sturgeon's Law applied to people who work in technology.

I saw the complacency in daily life, not at work (which was mostly remote to another part of the world anyway.)
