The small bits were things told to me by Australians who moved here and were deliriously happy to be in society where one's business is presumed to be one's own. It's hard to put a specific finger on it - like proving a negative - situations where you're simply not required to justify yourself socially. I'll come back and quote some if I come across any specific examples.
This is, of course, not to say that Britain is a shining beacon of equality.  I'm not British and it's not Britain I'm comparing to.
The big bits, well, the most obvious one was that actually serious attempt to get a Great Australian Firewall that would ban internet pornography in the country. That was when I first thought to myself, This must not be quite the land of "a fair go" that I'd read about.
