Apart from the lack of Internet/video games?! I agree with this statement completely! 2021 Melbourne is result of open borders and globalism with all the joys we have now including the pandemic which melbourne is now famous for. I think I'd rather take this post 1989/90 melbourne via this tourism ad here but it wouldn't last long because by 1991 all of this here would come to an end to the hellhole we have now. So it's just that it dies into something hopefully better in the future but that maybe decades away regardless....
It's beyond bittersweet seeing this. It angers me beyond belief what the 'government' has done to our City, and to us! I LOVED Melbourne! Melbourne; and even all the way out to where I live, has been flooded with Asians, Indians, Africans, moslems and just about anything else you could imagine. It's shocking and enraging getting around now. At just about any point you may find yourself, or anywhere you even look, you'll see yourself outnumbered by foreigners. It's saddening, it's angering, and I despise it. Will we act to get our City and our future back?!
@@gerrym75 Yeah? That's your "logic"?! Koreans don't allow hundreds of thousands of foreigners to arrive in their country each year, to stay. Nor would I ever expect them too. Koreans happily watch movies and television shows from overseas, use the internet, and borrow liberally from Western Pop music history. I've enjoyed music, movies, girls, and many things, from other countries for decades. Many in the West have. I 'like' foreigners. I don't like hundreds of thousands, or millions, of them coming to live in my country. They'll never accept the same. The "logic" of people like yourself is so frigging demented. Can you even realise this?!
Melbourne as you see it there in the 80s was made by immigrants. Italians, Greeks, Maltese, Vietnamese and so on. It's why it's such a great city but they caught exactly the kind of garbage racism you're spouting here. The immigrants that have come since have enriched it in exactly the same way. And they getting exactly the same abuse. Get over yourself.
@@shoutykat No it wasn't. We made our City and it was always OBVIOUS that we were (rightly and naturally) the majority population of our own City. Though they did indeed bring problems, the Europeans are indeed that, and they are Christian, and there was never any chance of them outnumbering us. Are people citing them now as the thin edge of the wedge to what is being done now? They'd better realise where they are and who they owe their good lives here to. The Vietnamese only began coming after 1979 and then only existed in relatively small numbers in a few areas. All of those people in some way or another became quite Australianised. We were NEVER asked if we want any of those populations here! So if any of us made our objections known then it was their right to!
That's correct! 1990 was the last great year of one of the best decades to have existed in which was prior 1980's of course in which the "good times" would come to an end. By 1991 globalism/sell outs would enter the full effect by not only Hawke but many other PM's after him as well all until 2021 where Scomo is playing devil's advocate and a pm for the people. Fully knowing that if the pandemic hadn't of hit?! He and others like him would still be selling us out! Now a scramble after over 30+ years of damage can't be undone. Everything we had here via these 2 video's demonstration is just gone all gone....

Well driving on the Hume Hwy would be exciting for someone from Sydney. It's not like there's anything else to do up there. And it's only crap weather because whinging people like you don't have any balls to hack anything below 20 degrees. Perhaps it's just that something called "culture" scared you. Enjoy the Harbour Bridge. We're all REALLLLY impressed by that.
yakidk89 Well said!!! And let's not forget, that Sydney actually gets more annual rainfall than Melbourne too. When it rains in Melb, it's usually just a small, brief shower most of the time. Then the sun comes back out. It may not rain regularly in Sydney. But when it does, it POURS DOWN. P.S Thanks for uploading this nostalgic treat.
Spent 36 of my 54 years in Melbourne; maintain much affection for Sydney, never bought into the anti- Sydney crap. Visited 72 countries at last count too !
All the footage is taken from different years throughout the 80's. The use of the older class of trams in the CBD, and the newer ones of around that time, reflects it.
Yeah it just great now that we're living under Covid19 restrictions and are in constant lockdown thanks to our commie-like state restrictions and dying elderly stiffs as well?! You might even say that it's just swell as well?! Progress yas!!!
Yep, the land down under 🖒🖒🖒 Australia is a mixture of many wonderful and beautiful things to see and do. From all the coasts, cities and towns, to the red centre and everywhere in between.

That's when Melbourne was the "most livable city" before various Governments decided to ram it with more people from 3rd world war torn countries and single handedly made it over populated and a dangerous city to live in, who agrees, Europeans have fitted in well BUT from Asia or Middle East or Indian? I don’t recognise the country Australia of the 1970’s I grew up in, ALL governments both previous and present have lot of explaining to do……
We're also forever known as the Covid19 Capital that has probably damned the rest of the country as well. Forget worlds most livable city or garden state!!! Commievile etc.
Me mate, I wish we had old Melbourne back, the way it is now is just sad. Too over populated, globalized, can't even afford to live here anymore. Let alone the degenerate shit they teach our kids in school these days, I'd happily go back to the older days..
How can anyone not agree?! It's horrendous. Only liars will deny it, but then; as slippery as the snakes they are, they'll twist about and say that we "deserve" it, that it's "exciting", or that it's "good for the economy". Melbourne is so terribly overpopulated now, and not by us ourselves, and there is danger everywhere.
Surely you jest?! It's a shimmering hole, that's what it is (especially the CBD now post 2020's)! If it it wasn't for the outer suburbs, there would be no redeeming qualities as it is! If it is so good as you claim?! Then why watch this segment and just not concentrate on melbournes current climate as of now?!....
@@TheAxelay I did make this comment 8 years ago. Now my opinion is the complete opposite and I despise venturing into the city. Would rather go to a bar in my area than travel into the city.
Majority of people back then was white due to the white only policy until it ended in the 50s. The vietnamese war happened and the vietnamese people started legally migrating to Australia in the 1970 making it kinda the first time that 'colored' people were allowed to live there. Since it was the 1980 there wouldn't be alot of coloured people especially out and about 'having fun' since most would be working.

You wanna talk about crappy weather? Sydney actually gets more annual rainfall than Melbourne, idiots. When it does occasionally rain in Melbourne, it's mostly just a small, brief shower most of the time. Then the sun comes back out. But when it rains in Sydney (as it does more often than in Melbourne) it bloody POURS DOWN. And as for Sydney being superior 😂😂😂 Melbourne has far more to offer. Melbourne has multiple worldwide major sporting events. A globally recognised arts and theatre scene. A far superior cafe and restaurant culture. Comedy festivals. Thousands of bands and artists performing around Melbourne and Victoria, every week. I could go on and on. Face it, sooks. Melbourne is returning to the major capital city of Australia, for a multitude of reasons. And the opera house, harbour bridge and one silly horse race, just doesn't cut it, over the many, MANY cultural and entertainment experiences Melbourne has to offer. Oh, and let's not forget, how many locals AND tourists actually agree, that Melbourne is FAR EASIER and MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD to get around the city. Sydney is just a complicated mess of streets. Just ask most tourists. Or check out travel websites. The proof is there. 😁
Lived in Melbounrne for five years after uni. It's an inoffensive city, I can't say anything too negative, just a chilled, laid back city beside a river with most things you'd expect from a mid-sized city. The only thing for me that I can't stand is the weather. Bitter winters, cold, grey and gloomy. I found it depressing going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.
This was when Melbourne was a decent city.
The best part about this video is that nobody is on their smartphones.
