I'd like to know what she'll be doing in the future. Assisting Klaus with brainwashing other GYL candidates?

A globlalist cushy job obviously.....like the UN ....that kind of thing
 
Another leftist...out goes one, in comes another.
The People will vote in Oct.
If they re-elect a leftist govt nothing much will change...for their own sake they should elect a Conservative govt, one capable of standing up to China, and a friend of the US and ANZUS.
This clown may have thrown his hat into the ring, but if the puppet masters can't buy him or blackmail him, he'll be gone and a more favourable contender will be put in his place. Someone they can control.

Voting?

You really think that “voting” is totes legit?

If your voting actually mattered, then they wouldn’t let you do it.

FACT!
 
Kindness, empathy, and compassion were values at the heart of Jacinda Ardern’s political career — but they were often absent from her government’s policies. The result was a squandered opportunity to overhaul New Zealand’s economy for the better.
 

Ardern excited voters by pledging to boldly tackle the issues that public surveys showed most concerned Kiwis — including shameful levels of poverty, rising homelessness and an out-of-control housing crisis, and climate change. But her government will end having done little to meaningfully engage with these crises. Over the course of her time in office some of these problems have even worsened.
 
Instead of the “transformative” government Arden promised, what followed was six years of conventional centrism that was more in fundamental continuity with her right-wing National Party predecessor than either would like to admit. In the process, Ardern, who has described herself as a “democratic socialist,” presided over an enormous upward transfer of wealth and an explosion in economic hardship that affects even middle-class Kiwis.

 
Workers saw the minimum wage grow nearly six dollars to twenty-one dollars an hour, and the Fair Pay Agreements law passed last year has put in place sector-wide bargaining for minimum employment terms. These are important and helpful measures in one of the world’s more expensive countries to live.

Policies like her doubling of sick leave, free doctor visits for children under fourteen, and boosts to welfare payments and other income support — including family tax credits and superannuation (social security) — have likewise made a difference to people’s lives. Child poverty has dropped three percentage points since 2018. Ardern also kept her early promise of making the first year of university free, given the high cost of studying in New Zealand.

With the country roiled by a runaway housing market, Ardern intervened in important ways, like introducing a long-overdue ban on overseas home buyers, ending certain investor-friendly tax incentives, and putting billions toward programs related to housing affordability. Ten thousand permanent state homes were added (after National’s earlier fire sale had sharply depleted the public housing stock), dwelling consents ticked up, and the ballooning value of property slowed and even rolled back in New Zealand history’s largest-ever housing price drop.

The shockingly woeful state of New Zealand’s rental houses was met by much-needed healthy homes standards, which set minimum requirements for factors like heating, insulation, and moisture. Meanwhile, tenancy law reforms made important changes to the then thirty-five-year-old law regulating renting in New Zealand, passed early in the country’s neoliberal binge. Beside provisions giving renters more say in their living spaces and banning letting fees, they ended the practice of “no cause” notices that let landlords kick tenants out of a property at short notice without giving a reason. The changes earned Ardern’s Labour the label, in the words of one irate real estate investor, of “the most anti-landlord government” in New Zealand’s history.

At considerable political risk, Ardern made important reforms to the criminal justice system, including repealing the absurd, US-imported “three strikes” law, sending New Zealand’s prison population tumbling by 29 percent by the end of 2021, effectively reaching the target Labour had set for a fifteen-year span. More familiar to overseas observers was Ardern’s swift tightening of gun laws in the wake of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. In a country with a vastly different gun culture than the US and no powerful gun lobby on the scale of the National Rifle Association, this was not quite the Herculean feat many think, but a decisive, commonsense response nonetheless. Ardern’s leadership throughout that tragedy will be one of her lasting legacies, a showcase for her skills as a communicator and her ability to connect and empathize with the public.

That brings us to the other policy success Ardern’s New Zealand became known for on the world stage: her government’s equally decisive response to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite right-wing naysaying that proved comically wrong almost every step of the way, Ardern took unprecedented steps to protect New Zealand from a virus that would have likely overwhelmed its health care sector, saving countless lives in the process. It’s hard to overstate the unique carefree normality and freedom New Zealanders experienced compared to the rest of the world in the early pandemic era thanks to Ardern’s leadership.
