Yeah, Nah: Was Jacinda Ardern a good Prime Minister?

Jacinda Ardern is set to leave Parliament after a 15-year political career.

In 2017, Ardern was met with a wave of support which saw her become Prime Minister. She was re-elected in 2020 in the biggest Labour victory in 50 years.

Stuff political editor Luke Malpass has argued Ardern’s legacy is a mixed one.

Malpass said: “Internationally, she excelled, putting New Zealand on the map and being a visible, effective and popular international leader. She gave masterclasses in political leadership after the Christchurch mosque attacks and in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic”. nah i m good shirt
