As I was walking through the lobbies, I noted the Hansard from 1918. You'll find only one volume of Hansard from 1918. That year was significant in New Zealand for two reasons: it marked the end of the First World War, but it also marked the outbreak of the Spanish flu, the Spanish flu pandemic. The jubilation over the end of the First World War was somewhat overshadowed by that. You'll only find one volume of Hansard from that year. If you find most other years, there are volumes and volumes of Hansard. Parliament did not sit much during 1918 due to the combined factors of the war and, of course, the pandemic. Eight thousand, six hundred - plus New Zealanders lost their lives in the Spanish flu pandemic. A third to a half of the entire population of New Zealand was infected by it.
