Of course, Ardern’s performance is not beyond criticism. But a fair-minded analysis, free from sexist and misogynist bias, would suggest the hatred directed toward her says more about the haters than Ardern.

Jane Clifton has a way with words.

It's getting to the stage where being Reserve Bank Governor is a gig thankless enough to rival coaching the All Blacks. Everyone else in New Zealand knows better than you how to do your job.
In this crowded field, former Act and Labour MP Richard Prebble takes the cup for cheekiest armchair critic with his exhaustive retrospective seminar on preventing inflation. He's the former associate finance minister who, in the 1980s, hailed an 18 per cent inflation rate as a triumph on the grounds that prices were really "fluctuating around a downward trend", and if you took out a few items – he only just managed to stop himself suggesting excluding food – the "underlying" rate was much lower.
The Government's emerging problem is that a growing tally of voters now resent having to pay the ferryman for getting them across Covid in such a buoyant boat. They rightly feel that they weren't warned there'd be such a penalty for maintaining a robust Covid economy. They myopically feel it's up to the Government to make these new costs go away – despite no other country having the immediate means to fix their near-identical crises, either.
It's this can't-win realm of politics that consoles those MPs who, in the time-honoured euphemisms, have Made Their Contribution and Want to Spend More Time With Family.

Nothing to show after 4 years in government for Cindy except divisive racist and COVID politics :
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/polit...mour-says.html
Like a baby desperately hanging onto Mummy’s tits, Cindy cannot let go of COVID politics.
Because she has delivered on none of the huge promises like housing, healthcare and child poverty she made to get into power.

She has triggered an avalanche of misogyny in a certain section of the population, who are quite vocal with their dislike of her and her policies. And she would have been more unpopular with them had she delivered on her promise of a capital gains tax.
She went down in my books because she wouldn’t meet with the protestors, but I still think she is much better than any alternative politician.
She's gone down in many peoples books since the protest, it just highlighted her complete arrogance and condescending attitude toward the plebs she says she represents. Meantime her wealth has increased considerably over the last few years while she snuggles up to and mixes with her elite idols at the WEF, you will have nothing yet be happy but she will have plenty.

Cindy and Justin are Klaus Schwab's obedient little pets and his star pupils so all good, bit of lost love from the EU won't worry them too much. Lol

The PM is not Putin, she does not make decisions on her own. She announces decisions made collectively by Cabinet. However as the article states the hostility generated by those decisions is directed solely at her.
Your vitriol being a prime example and if she had the power of Putin you would not be heard. You should be paying Tremain royalties for your repetitive use of his cartoons.

Pathetic poor young female Cindy - incompetent & all spin with no delivery. Only good for COVID politics. Useless otherwise.
