Its very easy to compare- she acted fast and had a stage 4 lockdown in place early.....the results are there to see. No bullshit confusion straight off the bat on what was open and what was not open. People here still cant figure out why hairdressers are open- none of this bullshit that you're an essential worker if you still got a job. She also showed strong leadership in demoting the health minister for breaking lockdown rules.

CNN just had the NZ deputy PM on explaining the reasons for their success they have had thus far. Wasnt rocket science- they shut everything -including borders- real fast and and efficient.

I think you missed the issue with the cruise liners. How did almost 2,700 passengers - some coughing and spluttering - were allowed to leave the Ruby Princess at Sydney Harbour, catching trains, buses and even overseas flights to get home ??? A monumental fark up thats nearly too unbelievable to be true

Good points RR. I think she is a fantastic human being and an excellent leader. The world could do with a few more Jacintas in it. It's not her fault that her country is not the same size as ours.....LOL.It wouldn't hurt to take note of the example she sets rather than sit behind a keyboard and mock her

[Random Rooster]

I'm sick of the media love fest with the NZ Queen Bee...shes got a nerve to lecture us on what we should or shouldn't do. Go away Jemima.

She is right more often than wrong. That doesn't give the media much ammunition to attack her. Unless you're T Rex Paul Murray & his cast of Jurassic Park....who are still mourning the loss of Stegasorearse Tony Abbott- they seem to find lots of faults with her.!!

Even looters are only allowed 2 rolls of date roll...

That reminds me...I seen a burglar kicking his own door down the other day. Asked him what he was doing and he said "Working from home"..

Nailed it again RR. I read somewhere recently about how many bright intelligent YOUNG high profile women were being mocked by middle age to very old men who seem quite threatened by their very presence. Of course they would feel differently wouldn't they if that was their own daughter out there. The world is evolving and some refuse to keep up.

This is one of the problems our 'old men' have with "bright intelligent young high profile women" Jacinda:

'Do not deport your people and your problems', Ardern tells PM

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has attacked the Australian government's policy of deporting convicted criminals who were born overseas, declaring it "corrosive" to the relationship between the two nations.
In an awkward appearance alongside Prime Minister Scott Morrison at Sydney's Kirribilli House, Ms Ardern delivered a rebuke of the Coalition's tough stance, which has sent more than 2000 Kiwis home in the past six years.

Not our people, they're NZ citizen people convicted criminals.
Guests in Australia, who abused the privilege, ...so home they go, back to their homeland...New Zealand.

Well maybe you may have read it in regards to that big orange twit in the USA who up his attacks on opponents if they are female.

Speaking of, as part of my job i to had to watch live & report ( believe me i didn't want to) - all the Democratic debates for the position to oppose Trump in the November. By far the most outstanding candidate was Elizabeth Warren- it wasn't even close. Unfortunately the only thing that cost her was she didn't have a penis. Now we are going to see the battle of the demented geriatrics Trump vs Biden. Good luck to the USA....they are going to need it.

Not BS.
They are thinking about doing it.

Not in parks, on Hart Island which was used as a burial decades ago. Go and look up Mark Levine’s tweet and see him rephrase his original comment about the possibility of burials being considered in NY parks. It’s not happening. I listen to NY Governor Cuomo every day and this is not something even being considered.

I'm happy to change my original statement to:

"in America it's killing so many people they're now talking about burying the dead (in coffins) in mass graves in public land on Hart Island."

Ah yes, our old men...bondi.boy-ilk.
Many moons ago, when were were young, we marched to end inequality. We fought for equal rights and equal pay for women.
In 1964 when I left high school and started work, married women were not allowed to work at all...in banks, local govt etc jobs.
Get married, it was "bye bye have a nice life raising children or watching tv, reading and sewing if you can't".

In the 1967 referendum, along with White women, we voted 90% in favour, to give Indigenous Australians equal "rights and liberties"....once we found out what was really going on in rural Australia.

Jacinda was just lucky it was middle age, White, heterosexual, Christian, male [seemingly the most hated people in the country today] "daggy dad" ScoMo standing next to her at Kirribilli House when she blasted Australia over its deportation of criminals policy …….and not the little older lady who sits on the lounge at my place.

We old men also marched in the streets to end the States' death chambers...lucky for wrongly-convicted Lindy. The crowd was baying for her blood.

2008

It's 1987, and welcome to Toomelah, a small Aboriginal community on a former mission station on the NSW-Queensland border, and the subject of Australia's first intervention.

The son of a Wran government minister, Einfeld faces perjury and traffic charges. Back then, he was a famed human rights activist who, in 1963, his eyes welling with tears, had stood among 200,000 people at the Washington Monument listening to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" address.

Twenty-one years ago, Toomelah had one water tap for 500 people, and it flowed twice a day for just 15 minutes. Some houses had 30 people sleeping in them, and Goondiwindi High School, just across the border, had a blackboard for the whites and a blackboard for the blacks. And when the children came home, they played in the raw sewage of Toomelah's fetid, fouled streets.

Then Marcus Einfeld, president of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, pulled into town to investigate conditions after a race riot in "Goondi". Suddenly, like manna from Sydney, houses were built, the dirt road sealed, a sewerage system materialised and a new bore, pumping station and tanks dried up the line at the water tap. But a drink of water could not banish the devil.

The winter of 1987 was a heady time for Aboriginal issues: hoopla surrounded the 1988 bicentenary and what it meant to original inhabitants, and the Hawke government announced a royal commission into the deaths in custody of 44 Aborigines since 1980.

Then Einfeld turned the spotlight on neglect by walking with his trousers rolled up through the muddy, soiled streets of Toomelah and crying tears of shame and pity.

Tall, patrician, with Cecil B. De Mille-epic looks ready-made for the night's television news, Einfeld put Toomelah's plight on the front page.

Not exactly sure where you are getting your love and admiration for Adern or how NZ is handling it when their numbers are worse than Aus. They have only tested 46875 people which is only 9721 per 1mil population. Aus have tested 319784 which is 12541 per 1mil population. Aus currenty have 237 active cases per 1mil poulation. NZ has 251 per 1 mil population.

We have our border restrictions in place and so do they which you seem to think are better than ours so why are their cases worse than ours? Surely in a country the size of ours in comparison to theirs, they should be doing a LOT better than us?

Based on those stats, I fail to see how you can criticise the job our govt is doing in comparison to our smaller bros across the ditch.

It was not the fed govts fault for the cruise ship dilema. That will require many many months if not years of investigation to determine who was at fault there but I am certain it wasnt a fed govt call. No matter what, it shouldnt have happened and is simply unacceptable to the innocents its affecting and those who will continue to be affected by it. My point still doesn't change however that the passengers should not have even been sailing after the govt issued travel advice advising not to do so. Its not the only cruise ship in the world with Aus passengers that ignored the DFAT travel advice and are now claiming to be victims.

I think shes got plenty of good qualities but you are only as good as the team behind you. I think her grass is getting too long and she shouldn't be criticising others when her own backyard needs a mow.

All i know is if Ardern ever finds herself out of politics she could definitely get a job haunting houses....she is one offensive looking person, hideous

Two answers - take your pick

1. Attacking people for their looks is pretty low.

2. I've heard rumours to the effect that when she gave birth she bit through the umbilical cord with those chompers. Is she the daughter of a Xenomorph?
