Anyone else find that Australians are ruder than other cultures?

I've lived here for almost a year and since I am well brought up middled classed English person, find some things difficult to get my head around.

People arrange to come and view things I am selling, I make plans to be home in time and they don't show up or apologise for not showing up.. nd it has happened more times than I can recall? I sold tons of things in the UK and don't think this ever happened.

I had Australian friends who would make plans then not show, including 3 dinner invites where I had cooked things especially for her and her daughter..

It's very odd. At first I just put it down to a more relaxed ethos, but since missing out on things to fit around other people headlessly I am getting annoyed with it.
 
I read an article on Yahoo one day saying that Australians are the meanest people to employees @ stores, etc. No lie, go look it up!
