That's exactly what popped into my head as I was reading the OP limey. lol The same phrase is used here also.
We do use the phrase Un-Australian though. It's usually in response to someone doing something slack like the looting after the bushfires and floods. It's more to do with national pride than anything else I think. Most of us like to think Aussies will pull together in a crisis, and for the main part we do, so those who go against the grain are viewed with contempt by the rest of us.
