For all those right-wing kooks who have Jacinda living rent-free in their heads:
“Jacinda Ardern remains New Zealand’s most popular political figure, buoyed by a wave of international attention following the release of a documentary about her premiership”
“Jacinda Ardern remains New Zealand’s most popular political figure, buoyed by a wave of international attention following the release of a documentary about her premiership”
Ardern still a poll favourite – but which struggling leaders are on the rise?
The former PM’s public standing has not only endured but improved, buoyed by a wave of international attention following the release of a documentary about her time in the country’s top job.

Too many Kiwis have too much time for racist populists
I wasn't in Aotearoa NZ during the Muldoon years, but it seems to be generally agreed that he was a truly repugnant man, a racist populist who was, somehow, PM despite most folk disliking him.
Luxon is all that and the most tedious kind of faux Christian, yet is, somehow, PM.
That's fucked.

Closing after 6 months & 200 cones removed, costing Kiwis ~$750 per cone (and they gutted Worksafe - putting real lives at risk!)
