A news highlights segment found on a family VHS tape for the year 1986. Featuring the introduction of GST, KZ7 in the America's Cup, promoting a nuclear free NZ, plus sport and the Reagan and Gorbachev summit.
Depending on your perspective - a lot of kiwis would say it's been all downhill since the late 60s. About 1986? The slippery slope is well underway. Some great nostalgia snippets from happier times.
No you don't, there's better places to go. I don't know why you guy's want to, there is NOTHING here, wages are low and everything is expensive. You won't make much money 😆
Bolger went on to decimate workers rights with the Employment Contracts Act in 1991. Leading to the virtual disintegration of unions and the beginning of the direct massive distance between wages and profits that we see today. Long before Helen Clarke became PM

I was in the 3rd Form. This is Gold. Thank you for sharing.
American living in New Zealand and I love this.
Cool find, Gavin. 8-)
What a year lol
GST was never replaced and CGT to this day was never implemented.
I love the 80s Ads!-nostalgia😀
I lived at a hippie commune in Mapua as a kid in 1984 and David Lange showed up nude for an election speech. True story.

Good ole Jim!
the news 86 logo looks like the same font that one started using the following year
and they spelt desi arnaz’s name wrong at 35:44
As i from Te Kuiti i think Jim Bolger was best PM ever plus i was born in 86 ❤ that honda city @5:00
What a time. A visit by the Pope is worthy of mention but not Homosexual Law Reform.
My prediction, stock market crash in 87
Lindsay Perigo, what a legend, I used to listen religiously to his Libertarian show on Radio Pacific around the turn of the century
First leader of the Libertarianz party.
@@WaferBrik Really? Is it still a thing in NZ?
@@jeffsimon9594ACT claims to be libertarian but fascist would be more accurate. They just created a ministry of Beaurocracy (regulation)!!!!!
Labour , doing what it does best , knifing the workers in the back
0:59 - National MP Chris Bishop is the spitting image of his father (reporter John Bishop) at the same age.
Actually his father was better looking, at least he knew how to dress without looking like he'd just had a 5 day bender every day
David Lange would watch as roger Douglas put away his mistress
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 my dream New Zealand i want go to nz
No you don't, there's better places to go. I don't know why you guy's want to, there is NOTHING here, wages are low and everything is expensive. You won't make much money 😆

It’s so wonderfully boring. So many white, middle-aged men. Very glad we’ve moved on a bit.
Yep, and look at the woke mess we're in now, most divisive society in NZ's history.

New Zealand was so much better when things were boring
Bring back the 80s... so many brains have left NZ
It was good, not the bloody clown show it's turned into now.
