but as an apprentice starting at 50% of tradesman rates or there abouts if i was qualified at the time we could say double the take home pay to get an equivelent rate so just roughly $100 per week makes the zkk about a week and half wages...... so not that different?

$168 in 1970s dollars is the same as $3,328 in todays dollars for CPI. Wages it's over $5k. ( https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/monetary-po...ion-calculator )
