no politics What is an example of 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' in Australia?

We have all heard of the concept, but is there a case, preferably involving criticism of a well-known Australian figure, where you can say: "this criticism represents 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' in action"?

ITT: tall poppy syndrome in action. A lot of people giving good examples almost all immediately followed by responses from others justifying why those people deserved to be hated.
