Essay by Eric Worrall
Jacinda Ardern, who once called public climate skepticism “weapons of war” from which people have to be protected, has resigned as Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Jacinda Ardern resigns as prime minister of New Zealand
Labour leader will stand down no later than 7 February, saying she ‘no longer had enough in the tank’ to do the job
New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has said she is resigning, in a shock announcement that came as she confirmed a national election for October this year.
At the party’s annual caucus meeting on Thursday, Ardern said she “no longer had enough in the tank” to do the job. “It’s time,” she said.
“I’m leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility. The responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple,” she said.
Her term as prime minister will conclude no later than 7 February, but she will continue as an MP until the election later this year.

That call for climate censorship;

The lessons of COVID are in many ways the same as the lessons of climate change.
When crisis is upon us, we cannot and will not solve these issues on our own.
The next pandemic will not be prevented by one country’s efforts but by all of ours. Climate action will only ever be as successful as the least committed country, as they pull down the ambition of the collective.
I am not suggesting though that we rely on the goodwill of others to make progress.
We need a dual strategy. One where we push for collective effort but we also use our multilateral tools to make progress.
That’s why on pandemic preparedness we support efforts to develop a new global health legal instrument, strengthened international health regulations and a strong and empowered World Health Organization.

On March 15, 2019, New Zealand experienced a horrific terrorist attack on its Muslim community.
More than 50 people were killed as they prayed. The attack was live-streamed on a popular social media platform in an effort to gain notoriety, and to spread hate.
At that time, the ability to thwart those goals was limited. And the chances of Government alone being able to resolve this gap was equally challenging.
That’s why, alongside President Emmanuel Macron, we created the Christchurch Call to Action.
The Call community has worked together to address terrorism and violent extremist content online. As this important work progresses, we have demonstrated the impact we can have by working together collaboratively.
…
This week we launched an initiative alongside companies and non-profits to help improve research and understanding of how a person’s online experiences are curated by automated processes. This will also be important in understanding more about mis and disinformation online. A challenge that we must as leaders address.
…
As leaders, we are rightly concerned that even those most light-touch approaches to disinformation could be misinterpreted as being hostile to the values of free speech we value so highly.
But while I cannot tell you today what the answer is to this challenge, I can say with complete certainty that we cannot ignore it. To do so poses an equal threat to the norms we all value.
After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble? How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld, when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?
The weapons may be different but the goals of those who perpetuate them are often the same. To cause chaos and reduce the ability of others to defend themselves. To disband communities. To collapse the collective strength of countries who work together.
But we have an opportunity here to ensure that these particular weapons of war do not become an established part of warfare.

Video of Prime Minister Ardern’s speech calling for climate censorship;
I’m guessing she has decided to leave before she is pushed.
The following is high profile Aussie commentator Andrew Bolt’s view on Jacinda’s legacy;
I can’t think of any important New Zealand industry which wasn’t impacted by Jacinda’s green wrecking ball. She will be remembered for her fart tax and her damaging green zealotry, long after she has gone, along with her imposition of one of the most extreme Covid lockdowns in the Western World. New Zealand’s hermit kingdom lockdown was only rivalled by China’s Covid lockdown insanity.
Good riddance Jacinda. I for one won’t miss you.
WHEN A LEFTIST LEADER DEPARTS, i ALWAYS HOPE THE REPLACEMENT IS NOT WORSE.
Yes indeed: I too experience disappointment on a regular basis!
Ding dong, the witch is dead,
the wicked old witch is dead.
Is she any relation to AOC aka ‘Donkey Chompers’? Just wondering.
was gonna get hot for her-

Maybe she will just slope off, you know, just live a real life and be a mom?
She has that elitist attitude that they must look after those too stupid to look after themselves. Even if that means a good spanking with a spiked board.
She lost a parent? Child? Very very close friend?
Reacting like that is OK if you did, and pathetic otherwise.
(That’s what “feminism” produces.)
and… New Zealanders busy scratching around looking for the same type of leftist idealogue to replace Ardern. 🤷♂️
This is satire

i have seen a number of comments that suggest a number of you don”t know much about NZ..
Jacinda Ardern and her labour government have been a major disaster for my country. She is by far the worst prime minister in by far the worst government we have ever had. Unfortunatly it has taken a large section of the population a while to realise this. In 6 + years they have achieved nothing other than dividing the country along racial lines. Certainly very little positive was achieved with her actions concerning the pandemic when she would not allow NZ citizens back into the country under the very restrictive MIQ system.
Regardless of what has been reported our “covid experience” has been similar to most other western countries and our stats similar.
On thursday (our time) about 85% of our country erupted in unabated joy when she announced she was stepping down although you would not get this from our bought and paid for media.
In october we have an election and we hope can get rid of this destructive government altogether
Good summation of our departed Red Witch!
Well said Bus boy,
Jacinda read the writing on the wall that her government is toast .
National and Act are showing a slight majority if the election was held next week.
During the lock down for Covid she was on TV 6 days a week with Hipkins who is now our new Prime Minister and millions of people with nothing better to do tuned in to the Covid broadcast on TV to hear the numbers.
A great way to win votes and influence people .
The National party has to grow a spine and stand up to the wokeness that this government has pushed onto the country .
The Act party has good policies and will get a lot of party votes and could hold the national party to enact sensible policies that will benefit ALL of New Zealand .
One policy being touted is that senior students should not have to go to school till 10AM.
Then no early lectures at university because it is too hard on the young people .
What happens when they start working for a living ? The whole country shut down till 10AM?
How is this going to help New Zealand ?
Jacinda’s legacy to quote Dr Muriel Newman:
Her record speaks for itself.
Just months into her first term of Parliament, without any prior consultation or even Cabinet sign-off, she announced an end to new deep sea oil drilling – so she could boast about her decisiveness over climate change at a meeting of world leaders she was about to attend.
Anyone well informed could have told her that her actions would not only lead to the collapse of the oil and gas industry, but, by threatening the viability of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery, would render New Zealand totally dependent on imported fuels and by-products like bitumen.
Driven by a seemingly insatiable desire for international recognition, she used the tragedy of the Christchurch Mosque attacks to crack down on the rights of law-abiding Kiwi firearm owners, introducing excessive restrictions and a new registration system that is already failing.
As a globalist, she entrenched the United Nation’s radical Agenda 30 into our regulatory and administrative framework – without telling New Zealanders what she was doing.
She championed wide new powers for the World Health Organisation, informing the UN late last year, that New Zealand supports efforts “to develop a new global health legal instrument, strengthened international health regulations and a strong and empowered World Health Organisation.”
As a graduate of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum, she began implementing their ‘great reset’ ideas, including the introduction of ‘wellbeing’ budgets.
Throughout her time in office, she honed her socialist technique of using fear to gain control of the public and force acceptance of her agenda – from climate change, where the implication was that the planet would be destroyed unless we sacrifice the farming sector and our economy, to Covid, where we were told that hers was the only truth and that unless we followed her instructions, up to 80,000 New Zealanders could die.
The lockdowns she imposed were the harshest in the world and the cruelty she displayed towards fellow New Zealanders – including those trapped overseas who were prevented from coming home – was unprecedented.
She lied about mandates – promising not to make vaccines compulsory before the 2020 election, only to impose them once elected, forcing people out of jobs and turning the unvaccinated into second-class citizens. She then exacerbated her wrongdoing by misleading the public about the reasoning.
But her deception was exposed by the High Court’s Justice Cook, who, in his determination that the mandates on the Police and Armed Forces were illegal, revealed that the Ministry of Health had opposed mandates because they didn’t stop the spread of the virus. Furthermore, he also rejected the Vaccine Order that claimed their introduction was essential to maintain public services, since only a relative handful of employees had refused vaccination.
In effect, the mandates were imposed as a weapon of coercion to force greater uptake of the vaccine – so our “Covid Queen” Prime Minister could boast on the world stage that New Zealand was one of the most vaccinated countries on earth.
It was the lies and deceit that led to the three-week long tent-village protest at Parliament. But instead of meeting with protesters and showing compassion for the fact that many of these nurses, doctors, police, defence workers and hundreds of others had lost their livelihoods, homes, and families, the PM looked down from her 9th floor Beehive office and allowed her Ministers to mock them.
In choosing that course of action, she set the scene for a conflict with Police that will remain an enduring stain on her legacy.
Throughout her premiership, in the best Marxist tradition, Jacinda Ardern heavily promoted identity politics, establishing appeasement processes for virtually every minority grievance. That, of course, included those pushing for Maori supremacy – a cause she embraced.
Using the excuse of preparing a plan to enact the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a radical blueprint to replace democracy with tribal rule by 2040 was developed. Called He Puapua, this ‘subversive’ document was delivered to the Government in late 2019 but kept secret from Labour’s coalition partner New Zealand First and the public until after the 2020 election.
Having gained an absolute majority in Parliament, He Puapua and co-governance were progressed at breath-taking speed, with the 15-strong Maori Caucus seemingly calling the shots. This transfer of democratic power to the tribal elite – who run multi-million-dollar business development corporations – was carried out with the PM’s blessing, and represents the undermining of one of the world’s longest standing and most successful democracies.
New Zealanders’ right to challenge the introduction of race-based wards in local authorities was stripped away under Parliamentary urgency. In the middle of the pandemic, our community-based health system was abolished and centralised, giving a new Maori Health Authority such power that health prioritisation is now no longer based on clinical need but on race.
And, against the will of the public, local authority water infrastructure and services are now being confiscated and centralised into four mega agencies controlled by Maori.
With the Maori Caucus seemingly in some sort of co-governance arrangement with Jacinda Ardern, the three-waters reforms were expanded to cover all water in New Zealand – including the sea – without the knowledge or authorisation of the Prime Minister or Cabinet.
Such was her obsession with ushering in Maori supremacy, that Jacinda Ardern appears to have passed over her ultimate decision-making power to Labour’s Maori MPs to implement totalitarian tribal rule.
But thanks to New Zealand’s independent media and information channels, the government propaganda being promoted by State funded media began to be challenged and Kiwis started recognising the damage Jacinda Ardern’s toxic agenda was causing the country.
Just before Christmas the Australian Roy Morgan poll painted a devastating picture of a collapsing Labour vote – down from 50 percent at the 2020 election to just 25.5 percent, barely above the 24 percent polling that forced former Labour leader Andrew Little to step aside in 2017.
