Jacinda The Untold Stories

Description

ASKING THE HARD QUESTIONS

Drawing on more than 100 interviews and extensive research, journalists DAVID COHEN and REBECCA KEILLOR track the rise, fall and re-emergence of former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern onto the global stage, just as the UN gears up to choose a new Secretary-General. With the world on a powderkeg, is Ardern up to the job?

The debate rages, still, around this polarising leader:

“We didn’t spend enough time debating serious things in Cabinet that I can recall…”
\”She always made me sit up a bit straighter\”

\”By stealthily pushing co-governance Ardern has sparked deep animosities…\” \”…it fed the hunger that is now evident in the Maori Party.”
\”By wearing a hijab and declaring … ‘They are us’, she may well also have spared New Zealand bloody retaliation by Islamists.\”

“The marketing department was in overdrive but the operations department was almost non-existent.”
“For the first time in 40 years I voted Labour.”

\”She agreed with a wide grin that she was creating two classes of people.\”
“…a uniting figure in her period of office.”

\”…the ultimate vacuum-cleaner salesperson. Door-to-door, she was compelling in front of the housewives in Mount Albert.\”
“…inspired a lot of young people and a lot of women to feel that they had a very important role to play in political life.”

“I don’t think any other prime minister has done as much damage.”
\”Ardern saved tens of thousands of lives.\”
