Labour Party pamphlet from 1919 shows striking parallels to today s housing crisis Newshub 20/01/2021 Zane Small © Image - Reddit / Getty; Video - Newshub Watch: House prices are predicted to soar in 2021 as Auckland property boom starts again. A Labour Party pamphlet from 1919 shows striking parallels to today s housing crisis, and a political historian says rents back then were as contentious as they are now.  The pamphlet was handed out at a time when Labour had never yet held power in New Zealand. It wasn t until 1935 when the first Labour Government was formed under Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage.  At a time when house prices are skyrocketing beyond the reach of most New Zealanders, and rent prices are also increasingly rapidly, the pamphlet from 1919 demonstrates how complex housing is for governments to tackle.
