No, not the productive Ardern I meant the other one ...

Sir Loin was standing at the K Road  / Pitt Street intersection a few weeks back. The pavements were infested with jiggling young Labour groupies waving their trite slogans. They waved at the weary commuters on the way home from their over-taxed underpaid jobs. A product of the stuttering economy Clark , Cullen , Cunliffe and all the other wannabe Commies gifted to New Zealand with their tax and spend during the boom years of the two triple zero's.

In the middle of the squealing farrow was a tallish young woman dressed in a sensible dark skirt and jacket. Inexplicably, though entirely appropriate to the location, she was wearing what appeared to be 'hooker boots'. She turned and smiled directly at Sir Loin. Sir Loin recoiled as if he had been gazed upon by Medusa , it was the Labour candidate for Auckland Central. Sir Loin rapidly retreated into the shadows cast by the ex Naval & Family bar hoping that he would not be turned to stone.

Apparently the unsuccessful electorate candidate for Auckland Central but highly placed list MP is seen as a potential Labour Party leader and possibly Prime Minister. So what qualifies her to decide how much tax will be screwed out of us and how that tax will be spent / squandered ?

Jacinda Ardern was born in Hamilton in 1980, went to primary and secondary school in Morrinsville and then headed to Waikato University in 1999 where she earned her Bachelor in Communication Studies. 
She also spent a few years of her childhood in the Bay of Plenty town of Murupara, where her dad was stationed as a police officer. 
Like many New Zealanders, she headed overseas in her 20s, for a taste of freedom and to widen her work experience - including spending time in London working for three years as a senior policy advisor. 
She has been heavily involved in campaigning for grassroots Labour, serving as vice president of Young Labour in 2003-2004, before being elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth in early 2008. 
As president of the International Union, Jacinda spent time in Mumbai, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Algeria, before deciding to focus on making a difference back home in New Zealand.

It appears like all her current cohorts and past Clarkian mentors she is highly qualified to be a Labour MP and Prime minister. She has a decade of experience taking / spending other peoples money and then telling them how to live their lives.
