There it is. Now I can appreciate why you personally hate Jacinda. No need to make outrageous statements though.
I am not a big fan of Jacinda and in fact while I take most of my rage out on Adrian Orr, Jacinda played a big part in making the poor poorer and the rich richer.

And in hindsight I think we massively over-reacted to the pandemic. The first lockdowns I totally support, as a lot of people were scared and we did not know a lot but if the vaccines worked then people had time to get them.
I had some sympathy for the anti vaxxers with a choice between vax or no work and ostracism from society, it was not much of a choice. After Wellington though they can go f**k themselves as they came across as a bunch of rabid nutters spitting the dummy because they were asked to consider other people. All rights and no responsibility. No respect for the law or democracy, very self centred and selfish. More scared of the vaccine than the virus.
You only need to see how we are dealing with covid currently to know it was a massive over-reaction. Covid is here, no one is masked some additional old people are dying every week and a few unfortunate youngsters. Most people could not give a s*it about covid even after all the drama we went through.
Jacinda made some big calls which you want in a leader. She obviously upset the antivaxxers and young people should be upset that they can no longer buy a house, they are picking up the tab to save the old people and poor people should be upset as they are paying the inflation tax.
It turns out doing a lot less might have been the better option but it is all easy in hindsight. I think she was doing what she thought best at the time and a majority of NZers supported her.
For a minority there will be rejoicing at her resignation, it is just a shame to see all the nastiness as it is not the kiwi way... in my world anyway.
P.s. only after re reading my post do I appreciate the irony of someone suggesting a section of society go "f**k themselves" being upset by nastiness.
I guess it is not always easy always being decent/respectful/kind but I could probably try harder.
