Ardern was already famous for her youth; the news that she was to become only the second world leader to give birth in office (after Benazir Bhutto 28 years earlier) went round the world.

Following the Christchurch attacks, Ardern was asked at a press conference if she agreed with Trumps downplaying of the rise of white supremacy. Previously the youngest Prime Minister, it appears she has run out of energy right when public opinion is turning on her beloved Labour Party. I can do what I do because I have help and I try to talk about that a lot., What about the anti-Trump label, I asked her. The revival of socialism in mainstream politics has been one of the bigger developments of the last five years. We have more to do, she said, words she would repeat throughout the day, but I am an optimist. Pressure was mounting over a failure to meet targets on a flagship house-building scheme.

We know we need to act, she had told them. Christchurch was under attack. Asked whether she, too, was a socialist, Ardern once president of the International Union of Socialist Youth professed that Ive always described myself as a democratic socialist but that I have never found those terms particularly useful in New Zealand because we do not tend to talk in those terms here., Here it is more common to say progressive, or member of the Labour Party, she explained.

I just thought about sentiments, and what I thought needed to be conveyed., Ardern has been at pains to say that what happened on 15 March is not her story, but one that belongs to the victims and their families, to the injured, to Muslim communities, to Christchurch. Not today. Peace be upon you. I was saying to someone the other day how long ago it feels since I was up north [at home]. All the talk of a budget returning Labour to its roots starts to ring hollow when even one of the countrys leading business advocacy groups thinks the government was a mite stingy on helping the poor. Jacinda became the second woman ever elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth, the world's largest international political youth . Can I give you an observation?

Her partner, Clarke Gayford, she smiles, is not impressed. she was elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth. There was a real sense of hope at the time Blair was elected, she continued, because people were ready for things to be done differently. That doesnt necessarily apply to her. She put it frankly to me: I didnt know if I was going to be able to have kids., Then it all happened at once. Richardson used several different economic issues including a higher-than-expected deficit forecast and a recent credit-rating downgrade to finish the job, making steep welfare cuts of around 2030 percent the centerpiece of the budget. In the wake of New Zealands worst terror attack, the prime minister talks frankly about the aftermath, global scrutiny and how a nation heals.

We may have left flowers, performed the haka, sung songs or simply embraced. But she is verbally sharp. But for now, we will remember those who have left this place. And she speaks very quickly. When she was made leader of the Labour party, with weeks to go before the 2017 election, the campaign was built around a self-described relentlessly positive outlook. Theres something very grounding about that. The Union's focus was human rights and equal opportunities for the world's children.

And one of the first high-profile fights it picked with its newly gained political capital was with public-sector workers and the union that represents them, whom it tried to hit with a pay freeze. And my response to that? Opinion. She doesnt need to, she suggests. She is very verbal. In the hours after the attack, in which an Australian-born white-supremacist shot dead 50 unarmed people in two mosques, Ardern said that this was an act of terrorism. A place that is diverse, that is welcoming, that is kind and compassionate. Its heartening to see New Zealands Labour government finally acting on years of pleas and demands to take the popular measure of lifting benefits. She keeps talking and she talks fast. They werent alone: the head of BusinessNZ similarly suggested the government couldve been more generous with its benefit increases. Some of you may well know that, some years ago, I was the President of the International Union of Socialist Youth.

By then, I had interviewed Ardern twice already: after a breakfast meeting at an Auckland hotel, and a few days earlier at Waitangi, on the northern tip of the North Island. The occasion for this supposed reverse metamorphosis was the highly anticipated budget day, with suggestions that, after three years of treading water, the government was gearing up to announce something major. And is New Zealand Labour returning to its semi-socialist roots? It is just 10 days since. I am here to stand alongside you We feel grief, we feel injustice, and we feel anger. She said it wearing a headscarf, an expression of solidarity that sprinted around the world. And yet Arderns response, her choice of language, has mattered enormously. He is an extremist, she told parliament four days later. I thought, yeah, that looks all right, thatll do.. Jacinda was more surprised than anyone when she was handed the leadership aft.

Read the story being discussed on Jesse Mulligans show on Radio New Zealand on 17 May 2018. No friend of free speech, she had little regard for public opinion and no respect for those with a contrary view. The images were just as powerful. Its a fair assumption to suggest that at the time of entering Parliament, an MPs political views and beliefs are set and are the motivation to enter politics in the first place. Richardsons debt-and-surplus obsession lives on in this current government, which has consistently justified its resistance to more public investment by pointing to debt fears, and even took care to frame this budget as keeping a lid on debt and tracking a responsible return towards surplus through targeted investments. Labours continued refusal to get rid of benefit sanctions reflects a fundamental acceptance of Bolger and Richardsons moralistic distaste for welfare, as does its plan for a separate unemployment insurance scheme.

One Christchurch-based broadcaster issued an apology for an earlier column about Islam, saying, I look back at my comments ashamed. And in a powerful speech a week after the attack, Gamal Fouda, the imam of Al Noor mosque, where 42 worshippers were killed, said the murders did not come overnight, but were the result of the anti-Muslim rhetoric of some political leaders, media agencies and others. Its the story of four people, all of whom attend the same wedding in New York, all of whom see one of the guests sit down and refuse to get back up, seemingly entering a catatonic What do NZ fans really think of Fran Littlewood's debut novel?

Really, upholding the community standards that theyve set themselves, I think, is what people are asking for Were asking for them to invest in ways to prevent the kind of harm we saw in the aftermath. Sometimes, what youre promoting isnt tangible. And the tragedy is that most people are completely unaware that it is happening. Half a lifetime and seven weeks ago, I watched Ardern as she sat on the porch of Te Whare Rnanga, the Maori meeting house at Waitangi. So, what progressive answers to the financial crisis did Ardern and her comrades come up with? (I acknowledge amongst us today our distinguished leaders, speakers and those who bear authority. Its decision to stagger the boost means families in need will now be pointlessly deprived of much-needed funds until next year. I am a pragmatic idealist, she told me.

We are sitting on sofas in her office on the ninth floor of the Beehive, the circular building that houses the New Zealand government in Wellington. So for me, that means always having a mind on, yes, the policy work, yes, the domestic work but actually what legacy do you leave through some of those bigger, overarching decisions as well? (Hagen Hopkins / Getty Images). The critical thing has been the inclusive approach. The government very cannily framed its budget as a reversal of 1991s Mother of all Budgets, one that would right the wrongs put in place by its author, the National Partys thenfinance minister Ruth Richardson, who designed maybe the most extreme case of welfare state retrenchment in the Western world. Its not known if she has ever resigned, so if she is still a member today, that would bring it close to 15 or even as much as 20 years.
