The problem is that there are two or three competing "characters", particularly in the cities, that are the ones trying to break down the aussie traditions. Lucky for me I am not living in one of the larger cities. We can still laugh at ourselves, be politically in-correct if we choose the right time and are in the right company. Usually, you only offend those that specialise or delight in being offended. I can then delight in offending them. Try saying "g-day" to a stranger more often. Or be more "Australian" and say "G-day, mate".
