I hate the part in the film where Max and Goose are driving up to the wreck and see the guy who was assaulted by the gang running away, and Goose yells at him that he's a turkey. It's obvious that the guy had just been through an incredibly horrific experience that may well have affected his sanity, and Goose is calling him names and making fun of him. He sure as hell doesn't do that with the woman they then find. It's stuff like this that makes me dislike Goose a bit. I somethings wonder if, had he lived, he would eventually have gone bad.

one, they don't know he's a victim, and two, he's running away from the cops with no pants.
"He's dusted, busted and disgusted, but he's ok"

Goose definitely lacks some empathy but from what I've experienced it's not an uncommon trait in Australian culture. If they witness someone doing something silly you'll get the likes of "Aww ya bloody (pardon the pun" goose! What dya do that for?!"
A bit insensitive sure but in some situations that approach can give people a wake up call.
It's been a while since I've seen it but I also wonder on some level whether the Goose was trying to crack onto the girl?
