Unemployed disturbances in Dunedin - Today in History

  • elocal magazine By elocal magazine
  • Apr 9, 2025

During the ‘angry autumn’ of 1932, on April 9th in the depths of the Great Depression, unemployed workers in Dunedin reacted angrily when the Hospital Board refused to assist them.

Trouble had first flickered in Dunedin in January, when a crowd of unemployed besieged a grocery store. It flared on 9 April, when protesters threw stones at the mayor’s relief depot and tried to storm the Hospital Board’s offices. They were dispersed by baton-wielding police.

The Dunedin disturbances were replicated in Christchurch, Wellington and – most dramatically – in Auckland’s Queen St on 14 April.
