ANALYSIS: As PM, Jacinda Ardern became a global star, but she also had a target on her back

Her exhales were long and her smile was one full of relief as she spoke about how she wanted to be there for her daughter's first day of school.

Ardern's immediate response to the attack once again propelled her onto the international stage. She told Time Magazine that while she was in a makeshift situation room in New Plymouth,"I just remember feeling this overwhelming sense of, here are people who've made New Zealand their home," she said. Some families who lost loved ones have unanswered questions. There was no trial and it's been hard for them to get the details they feel could bring them closure.

For the first year of the pandemic, Ardern's performance was a masterclass of evidence-based policymaking and public communication.Even among the worldwide noise of COVID coverage, her approach stood out. Ardern frequently gave updates on the latest restrictions from her home, telling viewers in March 2020, "excuse the casual attire, it's a messy business putting toddlers to bed"."Like so many other women political leaders, Ardern is depicted as providing the maternal comfort that we seek when we are ill — the one to comfort us and lessen our anxieties," University of Adelaide's Carol Johnson and Australian National University's Blair Williams wrote.

Rest in piss jacinda

When you and you government at like they have it wasn’t hard to get a target on your back Covid coved up how inept her government was any leader will take the heat for poor performance of the party

I suggest someone analyses the position NZ is in now and report on some meaningful and quantifiable measures of success or failure Rather than gushing empty comments

'Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth' Jacinda Adern quote. Gross

she was a dictator...even the kiwis agree..ABC stop with the marxist propaganda.

Global star = ABC speak for ToxicWaste

And your analysis has proved the target analogy.

She was hated and is still hated. Even with the media groveling at her feet it couldn't save her.

Lots of Tories here!

Everyone who destroys, or attempts to destroy, their country has a target on their back. Geeze!

That’s because she was a very ordinary prime minister

As always the ABC and useless journalists/ reporters printing such rubbish 🗑 TIME to stop funding the ABC with taxpayers money.

I loved this article, read my fav passages to my daughter. Thanks Emily Clark for this insightful analysis. May all our sons and daughters fight against those insidious forces and support others through success 🤝

And she was a lousy politician The economy, housing, industrial relations and freedom of speech. And then let's look at 3 Waters.

What a wonderful legacy she has left ,the NZ economy, the 100000 houses she promised, a clear succession plan to transition leadership

“Global star” = hateful, socialist WEF puppet propped up by politburo corporate media enemyofthepeople

She displayed some positive attributes but her attitude to free speech undermined everything she did.

She was a socialist tyrant. May she be investigated, taken to trial and punished if appropriate.

Because she was a woke, weak, destructive and divisive leader. No misogyny here, just facts. Her party has had enough of her woke stuff and pushed her out before they lose all hope of avoiding total electoral decimation.

That target hasn't disappeared.

A target on her back? You mean marionettes...

This is where the progressive left wing politics of the ABC is on full display. Did Morrison have a target on his back? Where there forces working against him? Or was that just how politics works.

. Women have been in power at the highest levels for a century. Babies have been carried in most chambers of govts for 50yrs. There is no battle. Women have equal opportunity - if not more. But 50% of women squander their days. The other 50% get on with business. .

She is a corrupt, incompetent grub and WEF puppet who did massive harm to New Zealand.

A Global Communist Star.

Cue the Juliar Dullard rant of... 'MISOGYNIST'... don't worry about the fact that she's simply a globalist hand puppet.

Pity no-one hit it like she hit people with her Nazi bullsh!t. Let’s not pretend people that evil don’t deserve the wrath of god.

Wow the gullible people still on twitter. guidelines for those who don’t know the nicer the politicain looks the more money and freedoms you will lose while they in office it’s politics 101 New Zealand probably spent some years in house arrest checks notes yep

Global star...

Ffs 🤦‍♀️ she created the problems nz are facing now, what hypocrisy. And as for her vial words against the people of nz I can’t for the life of me think she is other than caring. For the sleepers out there who require deceiving governments to look after you, grow up.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Out of here ! ! ! Now - Dan Andrews - Mark McGowan - Anastasia Palaszczuk next

Yeh, a big RED Communist star!

I'm just here for the ratio🍿 How long until turns comments off?

Her nzlabour government has been the worst government in NZ history.

She would be lynched if she walked the streets. She is no star

“A global star” since when did we award failures? She was a weak leader who has driven the country into the ground. She divided the country based on your personal medical choices and skin colour. Her economic policy chasing a CC goal has ruined farmers lives. She’s no star

😂😂 ABC just 😂😂😂

The same target that was on your back Aunty,,,,time to purge the rot!

Ok comrade.

Global star🤣 These leaders of today will all be exposed one day soon I didn't know...just won't cut it

What does “kindness” mean in tangible terms. Because I saw no such thing from Ms Ardern

ABC journavists really do seem born yesterday, arguing Ardern broke glass ceilings & is the victim of misogyny. They forget Helen Clarke was NZ second female PM & served for 10ys without leaving the country in more debt than all the previous governments combined as Ardern has.

All successful women have a target on their backs. Nothing new here.

The ABC can’t see past a veneer of compassion to the petty tyrant within.

Ardern is a heartless callous person, which is not my personal opinion, but a definitive view after witnessing her disgraceful persecution of unvaccinated New Zealanders. She is on par with like minded tyrants Dan Andrews and Justin Trudeau.

She was a ‘global star’ only to progressives and only because progressive media made her their hero, even before she was elected. She had a target on her just like any other political leader

No wonder

What qualifies her as a star? It was a grovelling media that did that.

The global star of wokeness and virtue signalling, and yet, just another failed socialist experiment.

Hitler was a global star as well. So what? This woman is a monster and her abuse of power in a state of emergency is a study in tyranny

As PM, Jacinda was a tyrant, an economic disaster and a puppet of the WEF.

She was known for being a particularly brutal dictator. I guess her contract is up so now you want us to forget all that and call us sexist for pointing to her political actions.

the christmas island will be it

As ABC sinks even lower in my estimation. She smirked and laughed at people concerned about the erosion of civil rights, the refusal to engage with critics. Who can forget her telling media 'we'll move inside' for the proper(read compliant) media when confronted at a news event.

Remember when she said that her government was going to be the only source of information?
