Did you read the article? I thought it was pretty clear that it was focused on Trump's egotism, and Australia's dislike for that style of interaction.

Sure I read it, but Simon's premise is incorrect.

Even his tangential commentary is incorrect.
Neither Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott were booted for making "captains calls", they were booted as fall guys by their parties before going to election.

That's true. The centralisation of decision making annoyed other members and was part of the reason they lost faith in the leadership, but the biggest reason of all was the poor polling. The ABC documentaries made that quite clear.
