New Zealand's "she'll be right" attitude is, I believe, why so much just doesn't work here. People tolerate breakage on a small and large scale, to a bigger extent than I've seen anywhere else. Anything from permanent shop signs with spelling mistakes, to letting people rent out unsanitary housing, to "ghost buses" which show up in their IT systems as planned, then as running, and then, when they are about to show up, simply disappear off of their systems as if it was never planned in the first place. People grumble, but it seems like they always assume somehow things will just magically fix themselves.

Ireland is like this too, maybe it's a cultural legacy from the Brits (who are known for this as well).
