Tall Poppy Syndrome is a very AU/NZ thing, it is kind of akin to "Crabs in a Barrel". Straying from the pack too much, success, differing opinions are treated as something that needs to brought down from time to time.
It's an intellectually dishonest concept which, for example, would treat a persons confidence as them projecting "You think you're better than me?" or that if you reach a level of success it is expected that you should share that wealth amongst your friends lest you be considered a tightass.
People who hold these beliefs, should they find themselves with success or a contrarian opinion will always have a reason to "justify" why they are an exception to the same rules they use on others.
