Back when Australia was Australia

In the days when strangers used to look you in the eye walking up the street and say G'day. The world felt safe, our country was wealthy and life was good. Now working couples with kids are going to food banks. A beer at a pub is $11 and a spirit $15. I remember going to uni in the 90s and $10 got you 4 schooners and a packet of cigarettes. Bring back a prosperous Australia.

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.

I went to primary school in Melbourne in the 80s. I remember we all got a commemorative medallion for the bicentennial, but mine got stolen at school. Such a bummer.

The 1980's was a special time in Australia, this was pretty much for the whole decade in itself. But I guess 1988 was really special the 1988 Bicentennial Day or World Expo 88 for that manner. I miss that era so much, it all made sense but it was a fast blur that ended to quickly for me as a kid. I'd give anything my age now via 2021 to get out of here and go back to 1981 and I live out my adult years as a happy man here! But you know that by the early 90's the good times would not last as everything here would dissipate and disappear to the 21st century hell hole of a country we have now. Sadly this would not only affect here in Australia but the world over. The 80's timeline is an event that we'll sadly now will never know as it becomes a distant memory.

@@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!

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.

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.

On Australia Day 1988 I was in the Domain, on Sydney Harbour, with a big crowd. A group of Indigenous people marched past me, protesting, heading toward the waterfront. The Bicentennial slogan was 'Celebration of a Nation' and one of the Indigenous women said, "Masturbation of a nation, more like!" which I thought was pretty funny. They went down to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, a rocky outcrop right on the water, with the best views of the harbour. Some white people were there but the protesters just told them to shove off, which they did, but not before complaining, "But we were here first!" which was pretty ironic, when you think about it.

We had a house party on the harbour with over 200 people in our yard ! The roaring 80s ! 😅😢

A time where if you wanted to socialise you'd actually have to pick up a phone and call someone (or better yet, go out in person and have some face to face contact with people)... A time where there was still decent music to listen to (hello noiseworks). A time where biological men were not allowed to compete in womens professional sporting events - and the list could literally go on and on....

A country now so full of self loathing and shame, that your "racist" if you dare celebrate the national day or god forbid display the official national flag. A country where the flag of 3% of the population is seen more often and now held in higher esteem than the official national flag, that is practically never displayed anymore.
