"Tall poppy syndrome" refers to the tall poppy being cut down, and is generally a negative way to refer to the Australian ideal of not taking yourself too seriously. It's a double edged sword but as an example. If anyone instead of making a resume like everyone else, made a website and used it so self promote. Using a bit of arrogance to elevate themselves, would attract some criticism. You would then say it's "tall poppy syndrome" from the normies.
A lot of it is just complaining but in Australia the normal human reaction to pull people back into the herd seems to be stronger then the average.
Meaning anyone who stands out has to be cut down? Morally or in what way?
