Where's the evidence of pleas from Muslim women for her to not wear the head gear ?

This for a start

There are plenty of Muslim women around the world who refuse to where the hijab. Some of them are even ALLOWED not to!

But Go Cindy! Encourage subjugation of women. She's sooo progressive!

It seems that Ardern has chosen a reasonably strict interpretation of dressing modestly. She presumably chose this conservative modesty for its symbolic value. The clothing that Muslim women choose does vary according to the nature and the culture of where they live.

According to Pew Research over half of Muslim women in the USA do not cover their hair.

Countries like France & even Turkey ban the hijab - guess Cindy thinks she knows better than them?

As long as there’s votes, Cindy will always do what’s convenient - bugger human rights and all that garbage. Her high principles are solely to hoodwink the ‘4 legs good, 2 legs’ brigade. Pathetic fools.

Surely not! Collins’ claim of state housing list skyrocketing under Cindy is only somewhat true?

I thought that was one of the problems under National that Cindy was going to fix, along with child poverddy?

Over 300 funds similar to this to around $ 16 MILLION being thrown about in the name of COVID. Straight from the printers in Wellington

A good perspective on the cult of Cindy.

"The international glorification of Ardern, I noticed, was filling her and her party with a sense of great accomplishment that was, sorry to say, not always deserved. It was painting a rosy picture of life in New Zealand to rub in the faces of Trump's and Johnson's supporters. To be then recycled locally through flashy headlines, citing this or that posh American or British publication or platform.

For many Kiwis, adoring the Prime Minister became synonymous with patriotism, and it would manifest in various ways and places, including ones where it shouldn't.

Journalists have been attacked for daring to ask director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield slightly tough questions at his press conferences last month. Criticism and calls for accountability, online and in real life, are often met with insults and ridicule. The opponents on the other side are not holding back either.

Throughout my 12 years of living in New Zealand, political polarisation has never been wider, and more alarming.

Is this a healthy electoral environment? Do I really want to be part of it? I asked myself many times. The answer was always a bitter "no".

And so I've decided, with great reluctance, to be a passive voter. I'm leaving my ballot blank this year.

France has NOT banned the Hijab - Jacinda knows better than you.
France has banned full face coverings - the Burqa.
Turkey has mostly lifted the ban in Universities, public schools and government buildings.

I find it interesting that the Hijab is very similar to head coverings that very Christian women wore years ago and much like a Nuns head covering - it is very reverent really.
It seems to be offensive only if worn for a Muslim reason.

Now the Burqa - quite a different kettle of fish.
