The Amazing 80s | Australia's Bicentennial Year 

Peter Fitzgerald is part of that rot

​@@tigermotive2378You're not wrong mate

Hyper immigration set in

Almost like the wolves had gotten into the coop.

now you are old

@@GG-ud8id Says who?

@@mebeme007 the passage of time

@@GG-ud8id The OP isn't even 60 yet. To me, that is not old. To a 15 year old person, even 30 and 40 is old. Being old is just about numbers to foolish people.

@@mebeme007 Luckily thats just your opinion and counts for nothing.

Hey buddy I might have a spare one Il have a look through all my stuff and if I find it Il let you no here then I can work out how to get it to you Il let you no soon k

I also got one. Lots of moving over the years and it's been lost, unfortunately. I was in Year 7 that year, my first year of high school. Great times. ☺

I am lucky enough to still have mine 💛

I got one too, I was in kindergarten. It came in a little booklet thing. I’m sure I’ve still got it at my parents place in some old drawer 😂

You can purchase them online for 15 bucks

Meanwhile, things were a whole lot cheaper again in the 1940's, compared to the 1980's. And they were even cheaper still in to 1900's, to the 1940's. We can't expect things to never increase in price, because it will never stay the same.

Spot on mate.

You are so lucky.

The 80s were the best. We didn't have as much..but we made do and we were happy. TV was great, life was simpler and we enjoyed it. You're right...it all just changed rapidly...by the early 90s it was already feeling different. What a decade..won't ever forget. My Fave time in my life. Thx 4 sharing your view..totally agree with you

@@perla5921 , thank you very for reading likewise! I also enjoyed reading your opinion piece as well. Likewise I'll give you a hint on what happened here. Regardless I don't know who your political party is and it doesn't matter. But I'm sure you're aware of Bob Hawke and how he brought the country together with added events like Bicentennial/World Expo 88 as well thought out 1980 to 1989. But by then he founded and was gone by 1991 but it wouldn't end there as he signed a levery to start selling out Australian assets regardless if he'd win another term or not. Then those sellouts were more ruthlessly implemented by PM's after him as well all the way up to SCOMO. Multiculturalism kicked as well which is good and great but it costed our way of life because it was globalist. Then globalism became more corrupt politically correct and woke as well right till now. We also lost our carefree spirit and larkin ways as well because future gens were ashamed of our 80's ways and it wasn't hip or cool. Added to fact that a communism came in also just like the US and the world and further eroded people liberties as well right down to pandemic hell we have now thanks to China whom we sold off to as well after after 31 years. But no the sell out of our country really began via the 1975 Lima agreement but was keep quiet as not to alarm a more nationalist/patriotic 80's public here who would've been in outrage back then. That's what happened to our country, our politicians sold it all away only to be stalled by the pandemic but had it never happened business as usual now the pollies are playing the patriotic card to the very mess they created decades ago. Hope this helps somewhat understand what happened here, sorry if it was a long read but it is very in depth. Cheers to you!

@@TheAxelay Yes I do remember the Bicentennial year...i remember getting a coin that year in primary school..good memories :-) As for Bob Hawke..I remember him too through that decade...but didn't know anything about his politics back then...and didn't realise until your comment that it actually started with him! Looking back, though, I do remember people I knew who worked in factories losing their jobs by 87/88 because they closed down. So sad...Australia was oversold! Immigration was prevalent..but Australia still had its culture. What you said makes perfect sense now looking back...it was done in a very sly manner that you didn't even see it coming. Thanks for the read, I found it interesting! I wonder, though, whether it was always going to go down that path eventually..given the international pressures and climate...and whether there was really any way of stopping it 🤔 Thx for the info. :-)

@@perla5921 , it was planned all the way from 1975, stalled in the 1980's for one last good decade left before the early 90's via the sell outs where we all paid the ultimate price right till now post 2021. But this didn't only effect Australia via its lucky motto but also say America as well via its dream motto. This was a world wide implement that was planned right after the 80's decade which is it was so was good and remembered well world over not just Australia in general. Everything was good even right down to media, music and even the news!! The world was oversold in itself and we all lost. Regardless have a good one. 🙂😑

@@TheAxelay Sad..but true. Thanks for sharing.

Universities have become leftist breeding grounds. It's subversion from within that has happened. Every single thing you see today (From blue haired feminists, lefties complaining about everything that's Australian) all comes from the rot that's inside our universities. It has gone unchallenged for the past 2 decades.

Lefty’s

Social Marxism using Critical Theory c/o the Yanks c/o the small hats.

👃

After welcoming the millennium (or at least the year 2000) followed by the Sydney Olympics, things were a bit flat in 2001. Then of course things got really serious later that year too.

and rightly so

Yes and many of the pricks speaking in the video would be leading the charge.

Which is bad because…?

Why? You miss the days of ripping babies away from unmarried mums, do you? They were still doing that in the 80s. We’re STILL shitting on Aboriginal people, so that hasn’t changed, I guess. Mass shootings, underworld wars, no superannuation for women. Is THAT what you miss?

Problem mate it’s aboriginal land

@@perth7930 ..but an Australian nation.

@@deathendings6313 what exactly is an Australian nation mate anyone who lives here legally is an AUSSIE

@@perth7930 it’s not aboriginal land at all, they never owned it lol

​@@perth7930Pig's bum!

Nice car

You haven’t seen Parramatta

I always have and always will love Melbourne. Those who don't should just find somewhere more to their appeal. No-one's forced to live in Melbourne. Staying and crying about it is just pathetic.

Why?

Canada is decades behind Australia in Becoming a republic

Get ya hand off it mate

Another one who listens more to the big old sooks who can't stop whinging and crying about how bad life supposedly is nowadays. Listening to and believing those depressive people is just sad.

you're dead right mate Australia was really was no good nowadays far too many stupid Govt was to blame for our country gone to the gurgler as i knew thiswa really good times was the 80s as i was a kid in special school at the time i was 5yrs old when the expo 88 was held atfer that year things was went downhill atfer say the Hawke govt was kicked out of office thiswas early 90s was really when the bad times set in for everybody in Australia thiswas my views mate

Ok boomer

@@diogo4211 thats a intelligent comeback

Just after you learn English

Start by learning to spell before you attempt time travel. Also, if you like guns so much, just stay in the US.

Well mate, if it wasn’t the British, it would have been the Dutch or the Spanish or the Portuguese or the French or the Japanese or the Chinese or the Arab world that would have colonised Australia. Take ya pick, do you think the native population would have been better treated by the aforementioned? I doubt it ……..

The aboriginal lifestyle was coming to an end no matter what, Europe was sailing the globe, if it wasn’t the English it would’ve been another European country

@@user-gn2wp8wp2i just because you suspect someone else will do it doesn’t mean you should too. Sure you could argue that our generation shouldn’t really speak much about it as we are all benefiting from the commonwealth but it doesn’t mean that enslaving the aboriginal community, raping their women, taking their children, white washing them and all the other cruel things that were done to them are ok.. What happened to them was not right and people should at least show them some respect.

@@tigermotive2378 you’re probably right, someone else would’ve came here eventually but in the end, history has shown the cruelty that was done to them and I think they deserve a little more respect

I agree - we should rename the day. Perhaps “Welfare Day” to celebrate the arrival of white people who today contribute $30 BILLION to just 500,000 people who promptly spend it on grog and petrol sniffing.

If it wasn't for that 'invasion' you wouldn't be here. So stfu

Just as so many indigenous tribes used to invade other patches of land that supposedly belonged to other tribes. And how they also murdered, raped and did all sorts of evil things to each other. But when a white person does it, that makes it somehow racists, huh. Oh, the irony. Some of us can see where the racism is REALLY coming from. The ones who desperately hang onto that victim mentality, whilst ignoring and denying the actual, legitimate truth of how things REALLY ARE AND WERE.

As a European Australian of British and German decent i do too and thank you ✌🏻
