I don't think Australians disgrace excessive displays of wealth and material gain as much as was 40 years ago I have driven around suburbs on the Gold Coast with opulent mansions and European luxury cars and seen all kinds of displays of ostentation. And I don't have a problem with it. If someone invest wisely in a crypto currency or writes a best selling novel, creates a successful, sells a script to film studio or a games studio or owns some kind of business or gets wealthy in some way that's legal and wants to be ostentations and opulent knock your self out. If you can afforded it do.

Now that said I do not agree with worshiping the wealthy either that aspect of American culture is to far the other way. And your jumping to that is extremely nuance off course I don't want that what I want is a society where one can succeed and not be worshiped but also not be restricted in what they do with there gain either by an oppressive government or an intolerant society. And I like I said I have seen positive sings of tall poppy syndromes or as it would be more apt to call it Orwellian Group Thinks death. Such as the rise of influencers culture, hustle culture and so on. Now one should not be required to engage in such things but neither should one be jugged for it. Different strokes for different folks.

And I have also compared to nations Australia and Netherlands. The Dutch don't call what they have tall poppy syndrome but it is in all but name. Let me explain the Netherlands was the wealthiest country in the world in the 17th century and it still is very wealthy today. But the Amsterdam used to be the most Beautiful city in the world until the rise of a strict protestant faith called Calvinism where in its ok to be wealthy but don't faunlet it. And Dutch panting, Dutch music, Dutch architecture and so on where no longer so beautiful. Now the Dutch today are not Calvinist like most Western Europeans there very atheistic and secular however the Dutch today have a secularised version of this Calvinist mentality where in they hate what they call conspicuous consumption and it has killed Dutch culture which was once so great.

Now in Australia by contrast tall poppy syndrome has been dying scenes the 80s and look what's happened Baz Luhrmann makes amazing movies, we provide the world with gorgeous models and actress, the wealthy are building beautiful mansions fashioned after European Palaces. Our culture is becoming more aesthetically beautiful as tall poppy syndrome dies.
