Rose Byrne to play New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in film based on Christchurch mosque shootings

Perhaps the fact that the PM is receiving such glowing accolades, and now has a movie depicting her role in this event? Great for Labour party publicity isn't it, and perfectly relevant to the thread. If you don't agree then just do what everyone else does for posts they feel are irrelevant to them and ignore the post.
Pretty sad comment and quite off the mark. Is this who you are?
Clearly this is not about what the police and the emergency services did during and short after the attacks (which obviously has little to do with who is PM at current), but about the messages and communication of the PM in the aftermath of the disaster.
Just compare how e.g. sick bastards like e.g. Trump or Johnson used similar racist murders in their respective countries to further divide their people, while Jacinda Adern did a lot to acknowledge the atrocities, to unify the people and to help and reassure the families of the victims and the attacked population group.
While I am not in general a fan of her - her leadership after this terrible terror attack was second to none.

The initial response was excellent especially from the front line workers who put their lives on the line, however elements of the gun control reform, censorship and aspects of the Christchurch Call are debatable. Have we really unified the nation through these events? I don't think so. But it's likely that Ardern will win another term on the back of this, the massive amount of unfinished reforms, and a weak opposition.
She will certainly win a third term assuming she stands again. She may not have much beyond her charisma, but that alone is doing the trick for her - along with the fact National don't seem to be in a hurry to dump Collins, who will never make P.M.
A sufficient number of voters are blind to the fact Labour's ranks are bulging at the seams with dead-beats. They are dazzled by the sparkle and shine radiating from Jacinda's halo - and she does know how to polish it.
There is always the possibility of seeing her take an overseas post with the U.N. or similar. Although any such arrangement will be kept well under wraps until after the next election. If you see Deputy Kelvin replaced before the next election, you'll know what's coming.
I am mostly happy with Labour. But a couple of their recent decisions have disappointed me.
I do not however, agree, with your sentiment that “anyone would be better than what we have got.” National have done nothing whatsoever to even remotely interest me, let alone impress me. Collins has done National no favours, and quite possibly, more than a bit of damage. They need to lose her before the next election, or they don’t stand a chance.
Yes I tend to agree with you. At this point I think it's highly likely Labour won't receive the votes they did last time, but on the back of "let's get this finished" (i.e. the numerous large-scale reforms, covid recovery etc.) they will probably receive enough to form a government in coalition with the Greens, which would most likely spell the end of their term.
It really depends upon how the next few years pan out, and I'm not confident that Labour can deliver on the proposed reforms within the current electoral term. What the voter will think of all this? Who knows.
