Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Australia A bit of nostalgia

Some of what is happening in this country is a bit bloody depressing. I thought it might be nice to look back at a time when things were different:



I spent at least part of my childhood (when I wasn't on the farm) living this. It sure brings back some nice memories.

There are others in the series covering other parts of Australia too.

I suppose it's like a lot of Western countries, they didn't breed when they were asked to. How many had 4-6 children?

Population growth was considered desirable by the government. It still is by some.

Nice video mate. Need to save these, videos like this will be considered evil propaganda one day, in fact probably already.

The point I was making was that not enough had 4-6 children. I think the slogan was "populate or perish". Well nobody listened. So guess what happened?

What happened is that our cities, once livable, are well on the way to being crowded, congested [bleep].

Yes, the idea of creating economic growth by population growth has long outlived its usefulness, if ever it had any. This country has passed its carrying capacity, and we are seeing the effect not only in the cities but in such things as the degradation of agricultural land and water resources.

One of the other things that stands out in that video is the manufacturing. We used to do a lot of it, including consumer goods and cars and all sorts of other products which now we import.

There's a fair chance that many in that video have since perished.

Ah a slogan, well those things had ought to be obeyed at all costs.

I agree that it was right that the slogan was disregarded. It's so wonderful that Australia now has such a vibrant, multicultural community with lots of Middle Eastern folk, Indians, Chinese, and northern Africans and of course all the others with all the richness they bring. Think of all the nice food!

Name a 1st world country that avoided mass immigration policies. If you are here speaking english and own a computer( or at least use the ones in your mums basement) you are in a country enjoying exactly the same varied food etc we are.

Of course if you are an Australian sloganeer, no doubt you have 6 kids and 36 grandkids by now

Smartarse.

I don't.

We vote the Pollies in, they sit in parliament day in day out, month after month, year after year setting policy, regulations, laws....all, of course, for own good.

All Western countries suffer from the same problem, but that doesn't change the fact that they failed to populate.

What do you mean by 'failed to populate?'

Considering that this prick of a place is over-populated it does seem odd.

Everything the bloke's posted in this thread seems odd.

Might actually be Brenton Tarrant from his jail cell?

Just had a look at his posts.Suprise suprise another yank projecting here about the same problems effecting his own country. He talks about our multiculturalism, meanwhile half of central america is on the way to the USA as we speak...to meet up with the other half who already work there


Seriously, the mods need to add a sticky to this forum like

1. If your wife, dog, boss or left wing president is dissing you, try to deal with it like a man instead of bothering Aussies with lightweight crap.
2. Whining on some other countries hunting forum isnt going to save you.
3. Or even better. We conservatives are all in this together. How about posting like you are talking to us as friends, not POS.

Its not all bad, Australia's did well with the COVID-19 problem, better than the majority of countries. And for those not interested in breeding, there's always the Mardi Gras. The media does a great job of broadcasting it.
