For anyone who needs reminding what a real leader looks like in a crisis here's a little tune and video I made as Aotearoa #NewZealand went into #Level4 #Lockdown at the critical moment of the #Covid19 pandemic reaching NZ and the then NZ PM Jacinda Ardern's response.

This song features the address #JacindaArdern made to the country to bring the country together and reassure us our #NZPol government cared.

Seems unfair to compare Jacinda Ardern to this current inept coalition of morons so I won't attempt. I'm sure you can all come to your own conclusion.

New Zealand Covid response among world’s best but ‘scars’ remain, inquiry finds

Royal commission said the response led by Jacinda Ardern was broadly ‘appropriate’, in a wide-ranging report featuring recommendations for future pandemics

The Guardian

The unnecessary 2nd-phase of the #Covid enquiry seems to have said what everyone already knew: We could have done better if we knew then what we knew now.

#National now has to convince us that #JacindaArdern & #ChrisHipkins willingly ignored the Govt's many reliable psychics & prognosticators

On a dancefloor at 2am, I heard Jacinda Ardern’s husband say they were moving to Australia. I don’t blame them

It’s no surprise that so many Kiwis are leaving New Zealand behind for a nation with much larger capacity for embarrassment: Australia

News of Jacinda Ardern's leaving New Zealand for Australia saddened me because it seems a conspicuous signal of no confidence in that admirable country's future.

Let us hope that in the not too distant future New Zealand has a government better able to tackle the economy's post pandemic problems .
